Pity the Opperman Punicar, wheel drums to weak to be a sports car. Indeed not helped by the lack off diff on the narrow rear axle. Roulette handling and the joys of Zanyish Bandai 322cc or Calapsior 328cc depending on construction method. Another brave try to run over Blofeld's cat, there, by Mr Bond.
The Scootacar is the pick of the field, all be it with the style of a speeding bogey, its a flick of the finger in front. Yet the earlier Bonds have something in the looks department the eccentricity of design is an acquired taste. The more developed later cars lost the styling to become square shaped and I agree with Bob that the blimp/bollide shapes are much easier on the eye. The British seem not to have a natural eye to form with vehicles in the main. When they do very often the content is then substandard. Thus the imported Isetta, imagined in Italy, scrubbed up to scratch in Germany and lent to Brighton become the most successful 'British' bubblecar. All rather describing our motoring manufacturing over the last five decades in a microcosm.
