<VV> about a car for sale

There aren't any 'British car authorities'! Just prejudice from the 
collectors.

Price for this car is a bit steep even allowing for 'rip-off Britain', but 
he has got ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE of selling it, with our economy in the state 
it is in at present. About 1000 GBP would be a more realistic asking price, 
and even then he wouldn't be flattened in the rush, because no-one knows 
what Corvairs are over here. Mind you, this is a bargain - half the price of 
a Spider, as it says in the ad. It's amazing how one letter (Spider instead 
of Spyder) can cost you an extra $300,000:

This is a good site - ads are free and it generates a reasonable amount of 
traffic (I have sold a car on it myself).

P.S. Did I tell you the origin of the word 'Spyder' (or Spider')? It is just 
because in Italian the letters 'i' and 'y' are pronounced like 'ee' in 
English, so it is just an Italian attempt to call the car a 'Speeder'!
