Rear aircooled engine meant an expensive heat exchange exhaust system and very limited front luggage area, initially the car was reliable but as the 6v battery weakened the power dropped making the starter motor sluggish as the electric had to move from the battery in the rear, to the dash then back to the rear engine, a relay mod cured this and reliability returned, being rear engined it was superb in the snow, lousy steering but good traction,
