They could have taken a drive off that front tyre (like a dynamo on an old pushbike!) and used it to run a compressor/supercharger - forced induction :cool: :D
 
I see stuff like that and think “crumple zone? ..... that’ll be your thigh bones and chest cavity” ☠️

Driving it in a city full of lorries/busses/4x4/vans would be terrifying!
 
Interesting - if you closely you can see the auxiliary wheels at the front corners - I'm pretty sure that means it's got the very desirable Track Pack.

As was the case with most cars of that era, with non collapsible steering columns or crumple zones ;) But yeah, in this case there isn't much car in front of you, or behind you in fact. Same as the mini vans like the Bedford Rascal et al 😬
