A low volume car in the US would be perhaps 30 000 units. Another model in the UK or Australia selling so many would be considered a high volume car.
A Holden would be considered a common car in Australia, but how many have been seen outside of that country? In the UK for example?
So the whole thing begins to get difficult…
Edit: I can think of at least one feature that was standard on older cars, (say pre-70) but is not even available as an option on cars of today. (Hopefully, this comment will lighten up the thread).

That was having a girl friend or two and not a wife in my case
Always used to like the older Rootes Group cars. Well engineered for their day.
One thought I had about bench seats/column change. I wonder why they aren’t found on todays pickups? Far better idea for working vehicles than the modern equivalent which is the Maxi Cab.
I can remember the time when Rover cars were considered a cut above the ordinary run of the mill makes, and it was those more wealthier people could afford them
I am in a position to be able and have bought a new car and my wife’s car is only 4/5 years old.
If I wanted and could afford an older car it would be the 4.2 E type Jag. convertable, my dream car since being allowed to drive a friends many years ago. Sitting in the drivers seat looking down that long bonnet just sends tingles down the spine
Don’t get sentimental about the rover 75, some have the same K series engines in as my MG, this only does about 500 miles a year, but I would not want to do anymore miles than that with the head gasket problems, mine has been changed for the higher spec one but I am still wary.
If I may add to this conversation. Two cars I had always wanted from Jaguars range was an E Type, (the 3.8, not later ones) or an XJ6.
One day, I test drove one with a view to buying. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with it. Thats the reason I could never buy an E Type today. I’m scared that despite the fact I love the things, I’m scared that I might not like it and destroy my dreams. Does that make sense?
Hi there,
Yes, I know what you mean about the K series…
The 2.0 litre '75 that I drive has the BMW diesel engine.
I find this forum interesting, http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/
with many knowledgeable people on there. You may already be aware of it so forgive me for mentioning it.
Regards, Malc.
I had it when I owned boarding kennels and those that saw it locally reminded them to book early for a space for their dog/cat
Next we had 3 dogs at the time and my name is barry
Hence B 3DOG
Not only that I have been offered at least 4x what I paid for it, and that is several thousands of £s, so it is an investment as well.
Even these number plate companies offered well in excess of what I paid originally.
For example P3 DOG is advertised for £2425 and with an earlier plate B it is worth half that amount again
