Yet another of the models great design features that remained throughout its life. Remind me again why they went to the wall? Marina windscreen wipers. Found this on Wiki - " A point of criticism with the Marina was that the windscreen-wiper set-up was "opposite" the driver. This was decided pre-production after drivers of the prototypes reported that airflow at certain speeds made the wiper closest to the A-post lift off the windscreen, potentially disrupting the driver's line of sight. The problem was judged sufficiently serious that the car went on sale with a wiper position as if for driving on the other side of the road, though subsequent road testers questioned the effectiveness of this decision and the basis for it.

JeeExEll Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 In 1938 Herbert Austin had a dream. When he woke up he designed a car for 80 years in the future, a type of car called an MPV. The Austin 2018. (Just before he woke up his wife heard him mumble incoherently something like 'Ssssangyong Rodius my arse'. To this day his nonsense statement has been a complete mystery).
