Had one of these back around 1979....with a 1.5 litre Diesel engine and 4 Speed manual box, transplanted out of a BMC J4 Panel Van. Slow as a week in the jail, but torquey. Towed my caravan with it, and it was slow, but reliable.
Economy was very good as well.

Not just the torsion bar setup, but the bottom arm looks to be made from little more than a shelving bracket piece of U channel.

make a car lighter and it's faster everywhere. Colin Chapman.

Morris Minor in a dress...
So utterly awful at the Press launch that the release was delayed to try and cure some of the lethal understeer.

Not our car related at all ( except Leyland ). Just got a kick out of this 70's ad.
The ugliest car of them all is the one they are advertising...lol
