How about that Mark IX? Is that little blue thing with the naff wicker work
seats and dash(!!?) an amphibious thing? It looks like one I can remember
seeing in the news reels back in the '60's.

That little wicker thing is actually owned by Bob Pass, founder of Passport
Transport, which he recently sold to FedEx... So, I suppose he's spending
some of that on new toys.... That little car was fabulous. I think it is a
Fiat of some sort, and was originally built for some hotel in the French
Riviera....
