Nor an NCAP test :headbang:

I am sure I read some years back that they used paper(card?) In the manufacture of the bodywork but as the QC :thinking: 'finishing' it beggared belief then and even more so now. I would rather have driven a Moscavitch car.....at least they were built like a tank......and by all accounts ran/drove like one!
 
brilliant - presumably copied from 70's British Leyland?

It was a product called Duraplast, made from a combination of wool/cotton fibres and resin, the actual bodyshell was made of steel, the outer panels and roof were made from Duraplast,which were glued and screwed to the steel bodyshell underneath.
 
One of them is now quality control at Audi the other one at bmw .
