And didn't GM deliberately style one to look like a 1950's car?
Great photo. BTW, are those authentic Gallic p#ss stains on the wall?

I have a theory that this car would figure in a ''Worst driven car'' thread. Perhaps it's because anyone thinking there's anything mini about it has no spatial awareness and doesn't care.The current Mini looks like a stunted Range Rover. It's simply too big.

There's something really cool about the French lifestyle of this era.
Alain Delon strolling down the banks of the Seine in the summer, smoking 80 Gitanes a day, several bottles of red and shagging every French speaking star aged over 16 from Paris to Marseille and back again.
Back to his flat overlooking the Eiffell Tower to rustle up a fruits de mer, coq au vin & creme brûlée for the wife, all against a backdrop of a Serge Gainsbourg soundtrack.
We had bread strikes, power cuts and Tyne Brand curry in a can. And Austin Allegros.
Ahh Paris, the summer of 63, a Citroen DS, Presiden De Gaulle, a Chatellerault 24/29 machine gun with 140 rounds of 7.62. I remember it well....
