I love that idea. I have a Solido model of a yellow 17 in my office. No mention of headroom, though. I saw my dad — shorter than me, although not then — at the 1978 Motor Show sit in a 17 that had a folding canvas sunroof. He could look over the top of the windscreen, so the new one would have to add some tallth to the greater width to work for me.

I had a lot of cars as a callow youth. I convinced myself that changing them every few weeks would lead to a profit. While it did to a degree, it more or less just about gave me free motoring as a student. I’d buy tatty things for £250 or so, clean them, polish them, touch up the paint etc, run them for a month or so and try to sell them for £300. Most of the time I got away with that. However, I never did get around to a Renault 5 or a 2CV. I feel like that was a pity.

I had a 2CV for a while. You are right, it was wonderful.
My University housemate had a 5, which turned out to be brilliant in snow.

Skinny tyres, low power. Good combo in snow. Pandas were brilliant at that too.
