One of my cousins had one from new in the early sixties. It was yellow with, I think, green wheels. It looked to me as if it could be the offspring of a Ford Consul! The engine had a strange, tinny sound, not unlike Ariel Arrow and Leader two stroke motorcycles. He used it daily, travelling around East Anglia to service office equipment. After he'd retired, it was quite rare, even in Germany, and he took it there once a year to a rally. By the time he died in 2004, it had rotted away.
