  1. Wow! Look at all that chrome! Gorgeous car. Only £20,273 according to classic car valuer sites. (Zephyrinus will need his smelling salts.)

    Think of the fun Perkins and Jeeves will have polishing it! -Comment by Dante P.

    1. We are most grateful to our Liturgical Automobile Correspondent, Dante P, for the latest announcement of this beautiful car's cost.

      After careful analysis of the spare Zephyrinus drachmas and denarii, one is happy to order two such beauties: One in Roman Puce (“Puce” is French for “Flea”) and one in Yellow (Perkins’ preferred Livery Colour).
