I liked that clamshell hood too. Having that much access to the engine would be just awesome. The only Brit car that I ever had was a BMC 1100. I was most impressed by it. There's probably no other car ever built that could seat 4 adults so handlily on such a small wheelbase. I had never seen a car with a transverse engine and front wheel drive before. I told my wife that one day all cars would have this drivetrain - and the rest is history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1LpDxLZdiY |

Each wheel was connected to the one on the same side.This resulted in a car that was very loose around the pitch axis but allowed for almost zero roll during cornering and loading. Very unusual! When I bought the car I had never driven a 4-speed before. The look of apprehension was probably very similar to that young girl. By the time we got it home, a couple of miles away, I had it figured out and was ready to drag race VW Bugs. Hee hee. |
