Gasolene TV Project Warhorse Pt 16

I bought a demo one in 1976. Light car and very fast out on the open road once you had rpm in it but the wide space four speed gear box limited it there. A clear step in power at about 2,500 rpm (no tachometer in the dash). Living in remote SA at the time non sealed roads had the rear suspension almost fall out with bolts loose and front end bent beyond adjustment. Very hot car even with air conditioner and rear window shade. Negative scrub steering made it very tiring driving long distance as any road camber or cross wind meant you had to concentrate all the time. Great zoom zoom sealed road car but way to light for local condition. I had to traded it after nine months and go back to another 504 that lasted another 13 years.
