Well...if you call *that* bread.  It was also a car, if you're willing to
give that name to something made in Britain and equipped by the Prince of
Darkness himself.  I had an Alpine Series II (had mild fins, the series III
pretty much looked like an MGB in back).  From the front it looked sort of
like a 3/4 model of a '56 T-bird.  Straight four with twin Solex
carburettors.  They also made the same car with a 289 Ford V8 in it, called
it a Tiger.  Went very well in straight lines.  Lovely convertible top that
took 7 hands to fold and if you didn't do it just right it would *tear*
!!  Probably another Lucas product <g>.
