You cant really imagine :smile:
While I had a 66 Countryman with an twin carb 1100 transplanted in it, that was pokey enough but a friend had a 1300 in hers...you simply couldn't pull away quickly at junctions, the tyres couldn't grip and it just used to bounce and tramp itself along until it found some grip.
A tad buttock clenching when you got it wrong.with traffic bearing down on you . Those were the days when you thought of something and just did it :smile:

Rest of the cars were pretty standard...probably explains it :smile:

I have a 998 Cooper with a cam that chucks everything in at the bottom end. Wheeeeeee! :crazy:

No, and yes.

Certainly an interesting vehicle, aluminum construction, a sort of part monocoque part space frame design. Clever, but expensive.

Its precursor, the simply named Audi V8 from 1998-1993, that sits in the lineage between the 100/200 and the early A8 could justifiably be considered a modern classic and is now very rare.
