Is the new small really that small? Original Mini next to iQ (Cygnet) - Toyota Yaris Forums

TLyttle · 02-08-2011, 12:49 AM

My first car was a 1950 Ford Prefect; remember those, SailDesign? Most of the ones around our area were converted into Trials Cars, which were a colossal blast, particularly with "fiddle brakes" (2 parking brake handles, one for each rear wheel). Even my first Minor came without a heater, an aftermarket item, the pump being driven off the back of the fan belt...

The Minor never changed dimensions over its 30 year production run, and mercifully the original Prefect wasn't around that long, with it's 21gp (Gerbil Power) flathead and it's 46" track. God, what a disgusting excuse for a car...
