OK so out of the closet....Road and track published a road test of the Vixen in the early 70's and mentioned a newer body coming out and to be sold in the US. Well I was at the local BMC dealer buying MG parts and saw a sad car out back up on wood blocks. Amazed to see it was a "new body" and new 1973 2500M which a customer had quickly killed and gave back to the dealer. I was in high school (1974) and was working nights and had some money and met the BMC manager who sold me the "thing" for all that I had , 2500 dollars. This was my daily driver up until 1984 and then given to my mother who used it everyday until the late 90's. Now long gone. I never saw another one, ever in CA. Now I have two wedges..both with V8's. Very good cars held together with wood pieces here and there and lots of Sikaflex. Picture of current "Wedge" and another of the 2500M from maybe 1977 or so...Oh by the way, to keep this De Tomaso, I am looking for a head rest for my '72. just need one if anyone has this??
