      Also European countries had various tax laws that gave a big boost to small displacement and/or three wheel vehicles. Today Japan has (or had?) laws that give a big break to cars of certain minimal dimensions called Kei cars.

    I had a Bond Minicar for about 2 years. Mine was an estate car version with a 250cc twin sports bike engine, which gave it a 60mph top speed and a lot faster acceleration than the basic 250cc single. Lack of a reverse gear was not a problem because the entire engine/transmission/front wheel unit turned a full 180 degrees from lock to lock. If you were in a tight parking situation, you could turn the steering to full lock and drive out sideways. It was great fun to put it in full lock in the middle of the road and go round in circles on the spot. It would have passers by in stitches.

    The December 2008 issue of "Thoroughbred & Classic Cars" had an article "Buy a Bond car", that sadly didn't include any cars manufactured by the company established by Laurie Bond. There were none of the single cylinder fwd trikes, no Triumph based 4 wheel Equipes or even the Reliant based Bond Bug, only Aston Martins, two Lotus Espris and a 72 Mustang Mach I. What were these alleged automotive journalists thinking???
