But John.... Lots Of Trouble, Usually Serious came out in that period, and now we all know why...
To be fair a lot of the points made are valid today - the car is low, getting in isn't easy unless you are used to such things, visibility from a low driving position is exactly what you'd expect, almost every report I know of says the handbrake is lousy, etc, The car is small so it's obviously going to be cramped and everyone used to say that Chapman designed cars to fit him, so if you were shorter or taller than 5'8", had a shoe size bigger than size 8, well, you're in trouble. (I'm 5'8" so I don't have any complaints
)
But the article was in Motoring Which ? and I expect they were more used to testing family saloons with maybe the odd MG thrown in so if I'm honest I would expect that sort of review from them, it's just not their sort of thing. Enthusiasts forgive anything if the car is good to drive but your average Motoring Which ? reader isn't that sort of guy.....
Good find though, never seen that one. Made me chuckle.....
