I have two cars in the workshop today.
Car 1. 1988 BMW 735i. 42,000miles
Car2. 1988 Bentley Arnage Red Label Turbo R. 43,000miles
Both have full service history, both are rust free and immaculate, both lovingly cared for and driven carefully. One car probably cost four times as much as the other.
So here is a question.
Which one drives like a brand new car, has a lovely solid clunk when you shut the door, starts first click, rides silently over rough roads and has a creamy smooth engine and seamless gear shifting, and which one is falling apart, takes an age to start, crashes over pot holes and generally drives like a trolley jack with a missing wheel?
Go on, have a guess. I'll give you a clue- the nicer car was built in a country that didn't win a war in the 20th century.
