Brett, you might need one of these, although I have an inkling who the fastback owner is?

Wow - that looks sublime. Fantastic car. Got me thinking about why most modern stuff (including prestige cars) looks ugly these days... and wondered if people presented with a new Bentley back in 1954 ever thought "Why are all the new cars so damned ugly?". wobble
