That is being said, she managed to buy one soon after, when cars were still an exotic luxury.<p>“I will confess here and now that of the two things that have excited me most in my life, the first was my car: my grey bottle-nosed Morris Cowley. The second was dining with the Queen at Buckingham Palace about forty years later.”<p>Agatha Christie in her autobiography
