Huh? Have you ever investigated the petrol consumption of (for
example) an Austin 7 from the 1930s, it's very economical.

That's as may be, but since it dismally fails the Conditions
and Use Regulations and would be unsaleable in a modern market,
completely irrelevant.

The one that frightened me was the A30/A35 (both, I believe).
Effectively only ONE braking system, there being common components
between the handbrake and footbrake systems. I knew a girl who had one,
and she suffered a total brake failure.
