The hideous, ghastly and just plain horrible!

Thanks for the comment and extra information. Apparently the Meadows Frisky Prince was the last model made

But because of strong competition from the BMC Mini the car floundered..
Or it could have been the makers of the 'Italian Job' thought the Frisky had less 'street cred'

and to use reverse the car had to be stopped and engine turned off before engaging reverse

The seats were removable so that they could be used as picnic chairs!

Some of you maybe familiar with the humble Goggomobile, a German micro car.


These were also made here in Oz under licence, but with fibreglass bodies instead of steel.
There were some versions unique to Oz.

So may I present for your perusal and delight, the Goggomobile Dart



Note the smooth lines, uninterrupted by unnecessary adornments such as doors and take in the luxuriously appointed interior!

There was a van version too

When i put the frisky prince in my search...........these images came up

A little closer to home. :whistle:

Hideous, in my opinion.

No ive never heard of the go go mobil.......a bit like this advert for yellow pages............

another couple of adverts here for the go go /......i think the same guy is in them


the gogomobil dart looks as if it could float







they even sang a song about the gogomobil

I think this car is all three hideous,ghastly and horrible and add one more item..death trap
its the gee wiz....and in my oppinion stuff a to b and economics i would rather use shanks pony




and if this was a real police car,you would refuse to get in it under health and safety grounds

I love the Princess!! I have had several - the last being a mint 1978 2200HL (kindly smashed to bits by a lorry after only 3 months of ownership!!) - They drive beautifully and in all honesty are the forerunner of the aerodynamic cars of today. The hydrolastic suspension made them waft along the road. All my 2200's had the straight six and the auto Borg Werner gearbox and I could beat almost anything off the lights! Weirdly my last one was in the same colour as the one in the video - pretty sure that one is Raynard Metallic.

Copied from Citroen and the 2CV.

Here's another Oz oddity...........feast your eyes on the Hartnett



And it's successor the Lloyd-Harnett Alexander

Looks very simular to our morris minor.......im only comparing so morris fans relax .....the minor is a classic british car......i rekon thats just down to the period......a bit like today where all the mainstream cars look simular......but some better than others.........if you get my meaning?
