This is an interesting 1974 documentary on youtube I came across by chance. It charts the development of the +2 successor, the Type 75 Elite, and contains interesting contemporary interviews with Chapman and Tony Rudd. There are also a few glimpses of +2's and Europas knocking around the factory. Only 28 minutes long and worth a watch. Chapman's team make a comment to the effect; men who bought +2's for their young families will now have their children grown up to college age and will need a bigger car. Nuff said.
ZARDE the 130/5.

Works in France, perhaps you mean anywhere but the UK?

Having seen and listened to the chap at 23 minutes I promise that I will never again yearn for the good old days :lol:
