there was a Oldsmobile Toronado, the first FWD car built in the USA since 1937, it used the "Rocket 455cid engine (7.5ltr in english)

I had a TOURNEO, but that went over 12 months ago, when i downsized to a MONDEO....so headroom is only an issue when carrying hackney drivers....

There's loads round the Westfield Centre in the City Centre, failing that use the Meteor Park and Ride off Sir Frank Whittle Way, it only costs £1.
