A lot of money!
Fuel prices are very high in Europe. What are the owners burning in these 60s American cars? I understand there are some who can afford to use these as daily driving cars.
You wanna see very happy people? Then watch the petrol-station-owners in the Swedish town of Vesteras, when the big US-car-meeting (I think, the biggest in Europe) is hold. A friend of mine, who is living there, has told me about that scenes.
What else shall be better for a petrol-station-holder, than a queue of dozen's of old US-cars, which are waiting for a full tank of gas
By the way: this weekend seems to be that one with highest fuel-prices in Germany ever - yesterday the litre of Diesel costs up to 1,39 and 1,40 Euro, high octane-fuel was more than 1,50 Euro.
I was lucky and could get Diesel for 121.9 Euro at an automatic gas-station in Venlo/NL.
It is a Rover 3.5 Litre Coupé [P5B].

I was just curious why the Rover [P5B] was called a Coupé?
There already was a P5 saloon/sedan (check it out, there must be some on the site). The ‘Coupé’, although a 4-door, had a lower roof-line (and a lot more brightwork, particularly round the side windows) and perhaps was intended to sell to customers who found the sedan rather fusty and understated. Coupé, after all, simply means ‘cut’ or ‘cut down’, so you could say it’s justifiable!
