Lucas electrics and American styling coupled with the turning radius of a 
motor home. To suit American taste they blocked off first gear in the four 
speed gearbox, made second non-synchro, and added a column shift. Starting 
in second is no problem since the axle ratio is so  low it turns 4300 rpm 
at 60. This is mitigated by a loud radio. They are cute though.
