- Was Barry's classmate in grade 5!
- He first saw the car driving around downtown Toronto (circa mid-1970)
- Noticed the same car advertised in the newspaper the following day
- Purchased the car the next day (Coventry Motors?), used his BWM 1800 as a trade in
- Car was the dealer demo and had 11,000 miles on it
- Owned the car 11 years, occasional use only, dry storage in the winter
- Purchased a service manual and did all the servicing himself
- Spent several weeks converting the car from positive to negative ground (after connecting the battery the wrong way and burning out the wiring system)
- The car had one small accident - a lady clipped the driver side door in Paris, Ontario
- Traded the car in on a Volvo in the early 80's
