we owned when we lived in frankfurt a borgward 2,3 with air suspension in sort of bronze shade left hand drive came to england to see parents and was given a 6 months tav free period .no matter where we went and parked when we came back there was always a few guys looking and the asking all about it .on our way back had to get our passports renewed .when we came out the was a man in plus fours smoking a pipe leaning on the wall as I was opening the lefthand door he came over to my wife and excuse me do you speak english ..of cause I do she said .oh sorry thought you where german ask your husband would he like to sell the car .I said sorry we are on our way back and we need it for work and pleasure .he handed me a card and said if you bring it back I will buy it from you
needless to said it never happened we kept it for years.until the air suspension was giving problems so sold it to a dealer for an opel capitan ,which we did sell in england later for a ford granada
