No loving for me later........... Good job she didn't walk in earlier when I was getting aroused over the Dolomite for sale 😂. Bentley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 😎 The Old Bloke Next Door and myglaren 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

I think it’s suggesting that you have somewhere to sleep when you’re stranded due to the unreliability of a 1960s French car. 108 and myglaren 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
