Like so many things, we just didn't put any time or money into R&D, we just plugged away with the same old crap we were churning out in the early 60s, some of which wasn't that great when it was new - the Sebring in the video looks like fun, but the standard car it was based on was pretty awful, although it did have the advantage of being cheap.
To be fair, beyond the early 70s, there wasn't much of a market here for those sorts of cars, whereas the Kei cars are a market imperative, so the manufacturers kept investing in them. ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........

I must admit I rather admire that Mazda Minor, looks well done.
Dont know much about SVA is it expensive and difficult to get approval?
I'd guess you'd get a Q plate at least. |
Can be and yes, to both questions.
It's a bit of a minefield, but there's plenty of reading easily available.
The test itself can be up to £450, then £90 for retest, if you got it wrong, plus whatever it costs to rectify the errors.
I assume the problem with that car is that there wasn't any paperwork for either donor, so maybe the Minor was a barn find and the MX- 5 was a Cat B total loss and the V5 has been rescinded.
If the paperwork for the Morris had existed, you probably could've got away with just changing the engine capacity on the V5 - shame really, that looks like a really well screwed together car, but you would be buying a very unknown quantity. ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........
