MG 1100 came before the Austin America. The Austin Mini came in many varieties and was smaller and lighter. In full race form it had over 140 HP and could burn rubber in all four gears. I drove 4 MG1100’s, one MG Midget and an MGA. The Midget was the most fun. They must have some tiny little people to work on those things.

Ah - I see RT is a firm believer in the “all wheels off the ground to show motion” school of auto-art. Classic!

I loved carwashes when I was a child. Are there any of the old kind left?

I didn’t know Fisher-Price made motorized cars! (If it shrinks any more, it’ll be a Matchbox car…)

Sigh. I get that with my car all the time. It’s even smaller.

It looks smaller than an Austin Mini.

Austin American maybe?
I had one of those with a 283 ci chevy motor where the front seat used to be.
Drove it from the back seat.

The visual of him in that car is up there with Snoopy’s doghouse. Hilarious.

That is what my father-in-law calls a “two-door roller skate”.
