They were made in rhd form for the UK market for about twenty years, no reason why they couldn't do it again. Although there's probably now a massive Amazon warehouse employing at least four or five people on the site of the UK assembly plant in Slough..... They were made, or at least assembled in the UK up until about 1960. The plant was at Slough. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car designs are invariably consumer "tested" before finalised. Then, of course, design is very much a subjective thing. Look how popular the Nissan Micra was in the UK, one of the blandest designs of small cars. Citroen always had a reputation for rather quirky designs, which they lost for a time. This car is, I expect very much aimed at the French market for city cars, although is available in the UK. The French have, or at least had when I worked for a French car manufacturer before retiring, a somewhat different approach to cars. They would prefer to drive a lower spec. less expensive French manufactured car and eat out at good restaurants. In the UK we prefer to drive a "premium" brand German manufactured car and take the family to McDonalds. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike. Does the phrase "Brentford Nylons" ring a bell? 🤪 Throw in your nylon sheets and the lot should go up like a torch... However, if you can also include a collection of dodgy 70s lps, you could package it all as a 70's Experience job lot on the 'bay for the retro-hipsters to bid themselves into a frenzy over! 1 hour ago, MrWolf said: PS currently wearing orange overalls whilst welding a van up. I look like an escapee from San Quentin... I believe that Orange is the new Black (or so I have heard it said). Mind you, most orange overalls I've seen seem to have been soaked in a drum of discarded sump oil, indelibly staining them to the point that the original orange is now the merest ghost of itself...
