With optional handling. . .:eek:
The Fordson van version came with the driver's seat as standard, and the passenger's as an extra. Most vans were like that until the mid-60s -ish.

Are we going back to the good old days when a heater & passenger sun visor were cost options?

Whenever I have brought a new car I have gone with the standard options - there is no way I would pay several hundred pounds extra for fancy colour and fancy wheels when I'm inside the car when I'm using it so I would not get any benefit for the extra outlay.

I've never bought a new car. I like someone else to have the initial depreciation on all the options.

Buy it off broadspeed.com, and with the money saved, pay for a colour option.
