A great little car with an awesome history. Probably the best example of a British notalgia car going.

unforutnately can't credit the guy who took these pics as they came up on a websearch. I remember reading the feature when it was in Volksworld, one of the first few issues if I remember correctly (when it was Humbug).

Cool car! Hope you don't mind me posting pics of its former lives Dean.
