Hey, I only know the obvious about it engineering wise, but
my dream "classic" car is a 1970 (because it's my birth-year)
Jensen Interceptor FF* - a nice "multicultural" combination
of British, Italian and American. For all I know it has
a Triumph Stag-ish reputation for some lemonish qualities,
but I still love it.

OM content: Well, it's probably my photographically-touring
Australia car when I retire, and I'm sure I'll still have the
OM1 with me, partly for its beautifully "classic" qualities
too. :-)

(*I think they made the FF between 67 and 71)
