classic clip

Post by Pandora »

Just came across this clip on Pathe site of my old boss showing a city vehicle concept he built to his boss at Ford in '69

it's just an unbodied lash up, but what a laugh!

Typical of Dawson too. I emailed it to him, and he had no idea the film even existed!

would it rival the mini? Probably not, but I want to build an electric one!

Thats excellent.

Have you seen the Tata Pixel? Its 3m long and has a 2.7m turning circle.

That is definitely the ancestor of all those horrid little "Lazy people buggies".

Cool city car and Tata - both brilliant ideas.

How about a Bubu 501? I have one of these.
