There were also quite a few other "regular" SECs of that era. Definitely one car I'd like to own someday

Back in 1984 I was "le Chaffeur" of one PAP25 it was all white and belonged to D. Rampersad, it was also an AMG or was badged one at least.

Spotted a silver 240z in Sando with a huge spoiler just like the old school Porche 911 turbo's looked sweet or was it a silver 911. Zoomed by too fast but the front looked Zish to me but the Porche spoiler was what threw me off. NOBODY has pics ?

Always wanted an old hears. Altho this is probably a station wagon, and not a factory purpose built hearse
