Thanks for the advice--managed to catch it (Always try and watch this one--even if the cars aren't great, there is always Ms Kidd to take your mind off your day's troubles!)--interesting how many people preferred the original. Just for info, 1 of the episodes of 'For love of cars' will feature the restoration of a 500--they say that it is a Mk1==I think they mean a Mk2 (the Topolino being the Mk1). Don't know date yet.
Just watched it on catchup. Not surprising that everybody preferred your car. But the best of both has to be a new one for week days and work and a classic for the weekend!
