When you drive one of a fleet of cars as a salesman, there is always great competition for one that is a little bit better than the rest. Having won a big sales competition, I was also in need of replacing the company Ford Cortina, and I pushed my luck all the way and argued for a Ford Cosair, which was quite a sporty and interesting car.
The only other one in the company was driven by one of the managers, but his had all the extras on it. I argued that with the mileage I did and the type of accounts I visited, it would benefit the company for me to have a better than normal vehicle. They bought it, hence I drove this one. I was a pretty good salesman after all, and not just outside the firm!
It was 1970, and I must say I did feel pretty flash!
