QOTD: What car have you owned the longest?
I've had this silly thing since 2011. It's very much a ship of Theseus now though. Pretty much the only thing original is the body and interior plastics

No, no... Very limited production. Handmade, as is usual for this industry based on air-cooled VWs and fiberglass. The first photo is of the factory.
In 1980, the founder sold the assets, going to Emis. Also from RJ, developed the classic Buggies, a Beetle pickup truck, and even, a subcompact.

Old Mercedes Experts:
This W126 sold quickly but what am I looking at?
Is this a grey market import?
Does that 4 speed have overdrive?
Velour interior and manual windows!
Such a weird S-Class!

If we are doing cars that don't exist, I'll take a NA Miata with the 6 from the current CX90.
