Yup... But I'm old Lol. They produced a really nifty "sport coupe" as well. Not exactly stunning performance but, it appears, "rare as moon rocks" these days.

There's one in a junkyard in K'loops.  Front engine, flat 4, aircooled.

I can't imagine it being either one of those. Pretty sure most would have been a straight 4 water-cooled.

They were flat 4 fwd. and just as ugly in a cool way.

Maybe I'm confusing this with a Hansa or Goliath.

Yes I have one that we ran into the fence on Sunday. It was the first time it had run on its own power since 1974. Bent the only half decent panel, the hood. So buying one from the Island.       Brent.
