Mini.

Bond minicar (1948) pre-dated that....!

True, I can vaguely remember it. Was the engine actually mounted on the
front wheel and as the wheel turned, so did the engine?

Must admit I was thinking more in terms of modern front wheel drive
cars and four wheeled ones. Did the Citroen DS predate the Mini?
