I had the 3.8S (high compression 10:1) with a manual whiny 4 speed and of course the always lovable Lucas electrics.
I really wanted to buy one in Seattle in the late 70s - it was a '62 I think, had been a consular car in Singapore or somewhere - had right hand drive and the old style, big white letters British plates still on. They wanted $5,000 and I just couldn't quite do it. I've still not driven right hand drive anywhere - probably is a pain here.
