No No Not the Dart. People always think it's the Dart.
Well in this case it was the Dart.
OZ 365ers will recognise what I'm on about. O/S 365ers will have to Google http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fk6pO7eLeiM to see one of my favourite ads.

On my way back to catch the bus, I came across a display of older sports cars but this one attracted the most attention.
The Goggomobile Dart weighed only 345 kg and was powered by a rear mounted twin cylinder two stroke motor. It had no doors and went on sale between 1959 and 1961. My elder brother wanted to buy one and Dad nearly had an apoplexy.
LOL…..now that brings back memories of the Advert…..
No doors? How is a woman in a skirt meant to get in? Very inelegant!
I do like quirky cars though. Nice find Terry.
