My 5th class teacher had one of these, always parked outside in the street adjacent our class room. I'm now 73 and I've never seen another one in Australia since then. I loved that car, it was so unusual in its day yet somehow modern!
My dad had a 750. And one summer mom and dad took myself, my sister and our two brothers all the way from Washington State to Nebraska. Yep, all 6 of us!
Saw some of these in Singapore in the 60s roomy and reliable. Why can't we go back to this kind of stuff instead of ever more complicated technology that you can't fix yourself! Much missed!!!!!
Oooh, I just noticed. It's missing it's cooling tins - the all important sheet metal which blocks off the air between the right side of the engine, the radiator and the right side of the engine compartment. Without those panels, the radiator will recirculate the hot, spent air over and over again. It's counter intuitive, but that fan is actually drawing air from above, through the slots in the hood and pushing it forward through the radiator where it exits under the car. People keep removing the shield thinking it will makemthe engine run cooler and are confused when it over heats.
Had one in the 60's for a short while. Besides being incredibly slow, the big problem was the shape of the gas tank - it was a vertical inverted pyramid, much smaller at the bottom, so as you hit 1/2, the gas would run out faster and faster! Almost got stuck a couple of times. It would be cool to have now, of course.
This car is one of those designs that make u wonder why the heck it runs head backwards. 😂😂😂😂 BTW, the front passé her must have the better survival rate thanks to the spare sheet installed in their front.
Magnifique manifique magnifique .... Milles fois mieux que les voitures de maintenant ils on etait fabriquer pour durer ' ceux de maintenant c'est de la merde ......
Per guadagnare altri due posti hanno attaccato il guidatore al parabrezza a mo' di zanzara schiacciata...Anche un frontale a 20 all'ora sarebbe risultato fatale. Bella macchinina, comunque.
*Ok Increase on first offer as I have **_Googled it_** and am prepared to go up to £250 tops. You are correct it is rare (as Rocking Horse Sh@t) so likely to bet on some 'appreciation' as a outside bet.*
It's nice, but I bet it's slow when laden with 6 people as in my house. I noticed a lot of dents in it, considering it's been restored.Still, I do like it.
