Do you know, if I was a man of infinite leisure then that might just be worth a go for something a little different.

Did see a few IVA problems though, not least of which was the opaque windscreen :o

The last one I saw this interesting as the road-going dodgem car if you remember that.

Well it is ......different.

I was looking for styling clues and trodden-on shoe came to mind.  Or maybe stretched liquorice?

There was a bit of a fad for 6 wheelers for a while.  Does anybody remember the Panther 6?

Yea, I was building 6 wheelers back in the 60s, bit more practical though!
