One of the most fascinating cars I know of and a true testament to the radical car design of yesteryear, when car manufacturers focused on revolution and not just evolution :goodjob2:

They are a nice car, not the way of the future then or now but who knows. They gave it a good shot anyway.

Great find, thanks Dazz!

I always find myself fascinated by the 'odd' tech around us that few people notice - take for example the rotary engines of the RX8 or the huge Rolls Royce Merlin engines used in the war planes of old :goodjob2:
