The very last thing I expected to see at Tesco one Sunday afternoon was one of these. I could not believe my eyes - this was the first time I had EVER seen one of these in the middle and didn't even know there were any in the UK.
Imagine my surprise when the owner, having showed me around and let me photograph it, was then kind enough to take me for a spin!
If anybody had told me that day that when I went to Tesco Osterley to get some fuel I would end up being taken for a ride in a Corvair I would have laughed at them!
The owner mentioned how he'd taken it to the Ace Cafe on the North Circular, which classic car and motorbike buffs will know well and love, and I can well believe how the American Night afficionados swarmed over it!
I could not believe how good the engine noise was, and it was also interesting and ironic to hear his comments about how good the handling was - Ralph Nader eat your heart out!
In May 21, I came across this Corvair again by chance - [ Ссылка ]
And lastly, here is this original Corvair commercial - [ Ссылка ]
Am surprised you can drive a car on snow like that, I would have assumed it would have simply sunk in
