I think my local depot is still using those...

You jest but our office still has a couple of pogweasled 08 reg Combos (Corsa C shape). They dragged them off the scrap pile during covid when we needed more vans (as we weren't allowed to share) but for some reason these two stayed.

A Borgward Isabella is on my list of lottery win cars. They're not that expensive compared to some things but I need the lottery win to buy some land and a barn to put them all in. 

They have a great almost art deco dashboard. 

And an interesting engine where the carb seems to be mounted directly to the top of the rocker cover. 

Like a semi crossflow. I still can't figure out quite how the fuel gets from the carb to the combustion chamber and I'd like to buy one to find out. 

And 75hp from 1500cc in 1954 seems pretty decent. And the one below might even have a few more horses.

Here's a couple of shots of Borward engines. The first is a race tuned one with the side cover off of the rocker cover. You can see the small manifold going into the combustion chambers.

The next two are from a 6 cylinder engine from a Borgward Pullman Limousine

Here you can see the inlet manifold that is mounted under the rocker cover.

This shows the the vertical inlet ports next to the valves.

There is a coupe for sale in Norway now with lots of pictures if you are interested.
