What has your daily car got?

Will anyone have none of them? Will anyone have all of them?
Both very impressive!

Starter motor and power steering. Don't really need anything else, although air con would be nice.

Yep, starter motor - that's all I've got on any of mine and my "modern daily" is a '93 Subaru.

Starter, AC, leccy windows, PS. No roof though.
Not sure if it has ABS, I don't think so.

Surely a 93 Subaru has ABS?

Probably still qualifies - they aren't cheap those other halves and you end up paying for it one way or another wink

An actual chauffeur would probably also be cheaper!

85 members polled but only 78 with starter motors (at time of writing this)....do the other 12 have to wind their own motors?!

No starter motor on the car (nor disk brakes, power steering or synchromesh in first).

The bike has all of the above however!

One has PAS and a starter motor. The other has neither (well, it has a starter, but it doesn't work)

I had an X reg mondeo without ABS.

I only have a starter motor, but that's what I get for driving a 1993 Nissan Micra
