If it's at all helpful: I've had various models of most of the modern

pass through my hands - the only pair that were obvious keepers from Day 1
were (and still are) a pair of Ruark Paladins which can be found for about
500 quid, here and there.

I wonder if the marketing manager kept his job after someone realised
they shared their name with a type of rubbish bin :-)


Probably had the same effect as it did on Rolls Royce car sales in Germany
when they called one of their models the 'Silver Mist'....

And don't forget the Vauxhall Nova in Spain.
