Shame about the ridiculous wheels and to an extent the exhaust

T reg but with non airbag steering wheel. As far I know only very early cars, M, N and possibly a few P regs. This one would definitely have had an airbag. Does anybody know what year they became compulsory? 

I think the old 1989-on Suzuki Swifts never had airbags and they were sold up to 2002. :unsure: @tooSavvy  so it must have been after then.

Airbags are not compulsory on new vehicles.  Just universally fitted.

And this looks like the most useful car in the world. Was anything similar ever sold in the UK?

See 'Dacia Jogger'. New for '22. Shite name but potentially a great practical car.

Well, I never new that, I just assumed they were compulsory when even the basest of base Škodas had them. I guess it got to the point that you had to have them because everyone else had. And you're not going to sell many cars with a zero ncap rating.

Interestingly, the way that they were introduced was campaigning by people in the USA to the Federal Government to add them to the spec for all new bidding for Federal vehicles. 

Having got them, they very quickly showed data with and without airbags for 10000s of vehicles which showed a massive reduction in deaths and serious injuries of federal employees. 

I think they are compulsory in the USA ?

Cadillac Allante V8.  No, me neither.

The story of these is quite amazing; the bodies were designed and made in Italy by Pininfarina and then shipped over to Detroit (via air freight!) for the addition of the engine and chassis.
