Apparently it's a good idea to have a bungee holding the 2 front doors of the Nobel together, as the body can flex enough 'at speed' for one or both doors to open!  :o
 ;D   ;D  ;D

I've also always fancied one of these, for no explicable reason.

I had a Trojan once
Tried to bump start it by pulling it backwards with the door open
It fired & ran me over!

I actually think its' predecessor the Avion was prettier (left, below), but it looks like they have improved the handling a bit, and removing some of the deux chevaux DNA can only have improved matters.

Strikes me that it's be a car that might be a hoot at relatively low speeds, which can't be said for either of mine. Well, perhaps that's n ot strictly true, but they keep egging me on. :-X

For a laugh, bought a Reliant Robin in 1977 for £40  (only 18 at the time).

Not the coolest, but what fun.
Position for vision.  Limit point analysis. vehicle stability and equal weight distributed for bens ::) ::) :o

Harwich (essex) to Gallows Corner Romford along the A12 took 65 minutes.   Then 5 hours for everything to cool down ;D ;D ;D :D
