Weird question, but I guess folks are bored. There is no Ivy car, but if there were it's not one of these.

I've had it since I was 18.
EDIT: I should add this photo is not mine. My car looks the same on the outside, but has a different interior.

A trashed 1950s black Dutch single speed, a 1954 Swiss army bike, a 1970 French touring bike, and those are just the ones I ride.
I used to have a man's black BSA like that. Second hand. It weighed a ton and the Sturmey Archer gears had been removed to make it cheaper.
I wanted a racing bike but I was not allowed drop handle bars. So I had to ride my friend's racer when he let me.
I also remember going to the bicycle and motorbike exhibition at Earl's Court. Nearly everything was British. Rockers laughing at Japanese motorbikes.
i are currently driving people mental.
s'fun!
l have a newer car, but l prefer the old rustbucket Holdens from the 50's, 60's and early 70's. The new cars have no character like the old ones.
Some of my dream cars:

Probably my favourite car ever (the EH and the EJ Holden).

More classics:

l've always loved the old Holdens and the big old Yank Tanks. Bench seats are a must, and preferably a: station wagon, ute or a panel van.
Best car ever!!! EH panel van

wasnt ivy in the least, but i loved my old 79 continental. for uber-iviness id have ti agree with the OPHB on the wagoneer......a beautiful make if mechanically stupid. another cool alternative occaisionally seen in small towns is the international harvester proto-suv from the 70s.
black '96 Nissan, held together with 100 mph tape and Hammerite - more Punk than Ivy...
