I hate them too, an obvious committee design. No matter how you adjusted everything, the steering wheel was down level the pedals, which where behind the seat as there was no way no moving the seat backwards & downwards to sit in the thing. Then to trump the lot, they fitted the windscreen so low that even with the seat at it's lowest you couldn't see out.

I had to drive several & they are all the same. Plus the only gear they'll ever select is reverse, even when going forwards.

I suspect that may not be their only educational short-coming.

Walked passed a house the other day and had to back track for a couple of snaps.

An Austin Gypsy, Renault 9 or 11?, Viva HC? and some old thing you guys will know.

Somebody has a nice collection! Deffo a Gipsy, not great on those Renners but I would say 11 rather than the saloon and the HC is probably a Magnum SL rather than the Viva which incorporated the Magnum engine sizes later on. I'm just saying that by the colour, somebody may know for sure.

Upright Ford is the Popular version with the smaller headlights.
