Unattractive styling, I hate skirts that stop at the wrong end of the leg.

I'm sat in the study/office squinting at the screen looking at the second picture trying to work out the logo on the steering wheel, Mrs Popsicle walks in calls me a filthy bastard and storms out. No loving for me later...........

Good job she didn't walk in earlier when I was getting aroused over the Dolomite for sale 😂.

I'd probably squint all over that in less than 10 seconds and that includes taking me socks off!

I've always thought those (very popular) orange interiors are for people with no class.

Of course, I'd never considered it was a good match for fake tan 😎

I agree many boots did have bottom hinges - often Austin products. But its no excuse for such a poor design, before gas struts expanding metal rods were used which locked in place when extended. In 1953 Morris, Austins BMC bedfellow, managed it - the Minor and Oxford for example hinged from the top -

Quality feature indeed. Over at Rootes, the Minx's boot hinged correctly, the following shot shows the metal rod arrangement -

Vulgalours much lauded Lanchester 10 'old when new' has a boot opening in the correct orientation.

No, hinging from the bottom is just lazy, and probably more importantly cheap. It is not convenient to the customer - very poor access and easy water ingress particularly when open but I'm not sure there was much consideration of the customers requirements back then.

Perhaps it was a hang over from dicky seats?

Perhaps, but as dickies seemed to loose their popularity long before the second world war, and these were new designs it does seem to be a rather eccentric nod to the past.

Anyhow on with the main topic...

I'm not* sure what the image on the bottom right is suggesting but I'd imagine Mary Whitehouse wouldn't have liked it.
