What does that mean?
Despite being three model sizes up from the original Mini.It means the Maxi is not as long as the other car mentioned.
And these for the windscreen.

Manual chokes weren't exactly a fad though were they?
I thought they were needed - at the time.
I well remember my Dad's Viva and the system I was supposed to use to get it started.
Never quite knew if I'd come out of the cinema to find it wouldn't start.
Supposedly you risked "flooding the engine", whatever that was, if you overdid it in your desperation to get home.
I don't think I imagined/dreamed this.
I seem to remember that when I was very young, sometime in the 60s, there was a brief fashion for putting stickers on your car (usually the rear window I think) that made it look as if you had bullet holes in it.
Suppose it was supposed to make it look as if you had an exciting life in your underpowered runabout, running roadblocks or something.
You can see the suction-pads, the heating element, and the wires for electrical connection (via a switch). Now imagine that you couldn't quite afford the latest deluxe-model car (the one with a built-in heater).

Flooded, too much fuel mixture in the engine, often accompanied by wet plugs. Those days I was motor bike mounted and I remember with some small two strokes you tickled the Carburetor to richen the mixture to start it, a little button on the top of the Carburetors that the rider pushed repeatedly to put more fuel in the Carburetor, I always carried a plug spanner in case I got it wrong.
