I had an unhappy and brief ownership of a Ligier. It was, frankly, perhaps the worst car I have driven in a while. This after just having a Reliant Ant! For such a good chassis the Ligier was let down by to light weight a body that flexed, soft suspension and a steering wheel bolted to some element of structure that moved on hard cornering topped with a gutless engine. My Schmitt offered better performance and was 35 odd years older! I may have had a bad one but it was that bad I have not bothered to find out. I remain convinced that the chassis would be a great base for a 'kitcar; style treatment with a more interesting engine fitted that would still fit in the category of licence. Someone like Andy Carter would meld a workable design together using, perhaps, a historic body shape, like a Berkeley if motivated. Did wonder if Cooperman might do it. It is where mine ended up after a plastic dustbin blew into it and cracked the bonnet making £350 worth of damage, Crap body. These guys are all busy and not really looking for new projects though.
