I remember reading in the Ralph Thoresby column of 'Motor' magazine how easy it was to execute rapid 180° U-turns in this model. Rather him than me, getting skittish with a 20+ cwt car on old cross-ply tyres.

Patrick Allen could have crossed the South Pole with Ran Fiennes in those thick slacks. Dr Peter Cushing felt obliged to keep his jacket on. And goodness knows what Ken Cope was perspiring to stain his shirt in odd places.
