lesapandre Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 That is one of the BL safety vehicles - SRV3. Pedestrian frontal impact is now legislated in Europe - fascinating to see how advanced BL thinking was at the time. The low bonnet line was intended to sweep impacted pedestrians onto the bonnet as the vehicle slowed - rather than going underneath. And the smooth profile to minimise injury. https://www.aronline.co.uk/concepts-and-prototypes/bl-safety-research-vehicles/ Not a 'stying' exercise on the 1800 - this was research only - thought it did cross over into TR7 designs.

lesapandre Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Imagine a car that big...with a boot so small. Issigonis was a great designer...but not all the time.
