Very first car I remember riding in was my Grandad's 15/60....It was also the first car I noticed rust on, I know it was before I started school so the bloody thing was about 5 years old.

Driving rotten old BMC shit obviously genetic.

Still would, that fintail though.....

If you are buying a Farina it can only be a proper finned one.

Although they have a narrower track and don't feel quite as composed as later ones - if it actually matters comparing handling qualities of Farinas.....

If you really want a Farina Peugeot or Fiat used the design and they are far better than the BMC crap

Fiat's version was actually their own work as far as I know. 404s might handle better and look prettier but they won't smell like a wet A60.
