Really? I thought he owned a copy of every car his hero drives - in fact, for my taste he makes a little too much in each novel of whatever classic car he bought with the last novel's proceeds.

His hero drives a Cobra in Raise the Titanic. I was just looking for a copy of that the other day to re-read the passages - good, Gumball Rally stuff about driving such a beast in the fuel-starved, dismal mid-1970s.

But then, RTT has become something of an embarrassment, steamrollered by reality... and let's not even get into the Moller flying car of a later book...
