One For Classic Car Fans.....

[Bonefish Blues]

Its in central Africa, I believe.

TBH I was never a moggie fan. Its so rare removed from Issigonis' actual designed its a real hodge podge. Crudely widened but only after the production tooling had already been made, hence the ridge up the middle. The envisaged flat 4 discarded for an inline. The original clean styling horribly bastardised. It was a real lash up.

Nor me, even when they were the kind of car your bank manager's wife drove bitd (you'll gather I'm a bitd sort of chap, myself)

It ended up as bodged and lashed up mess that only did as well asmit did due to the lack of affordable domestically produced alternative, while the likes of the 2CV remained laser focused on the design brief.

Down with this sort of thing.

But they could get the stakeholders involved and forge ahead with my idea. They won't get anywhere if they leave it on the back burner.

Moggies are one of those cars which have a highly distinctive exhaust note. The little "praaap" as the gear changes.

Is Austria not across the Channel? 😂

Originally I but GERMANY hence @Drago commenting.

Ignore my previous post.
I was thinking of the P5. A very different beast! 😂

Ah yes, the P5 as favoured by cabinet ministers and the like was quite a big car

Lord Stokes thought it looked like a fried egg. Issigonis's inspiration was apparently a Studebaker of the period.

Finally got around to taking a couple of pictures of this rarity.

Heading to the A14 on the outskirts of Ipswich this morning were about half a dozen Austin Westminster or Wolseley 6/110 variants.

Nice to see one in its intended habitat. 😉
