A few days ago I turned on an ancient iPad for the first time in years in search of old car pics. I found this screenshot from a Twitter bio from about 2013/14. It’s still a recognisable description of who I am but its tone has a pithy upbeat energy that I would find hard to muster now. One reason for that is that I am now probably a graduate or even a master, rather than a mere student, of slow, having recalibrated my previous hectic routine in favour of the small and simple pleasures in life.

Yesterday, I mentioned that Rover did not respond with an estate version of the P6 when Triumph introduced the 2000 estate. But that didn’t stop the coach-building company FLM Bodycraft seizing the opportunity in 1969 with its Estoura conversion. The cars were sold via the dealer HR Owen. I saw this one at the NEC Classic Motor Show in 2016.
