Odd Courtesy Car Choices
Discussion
In the early 80's I was working in Grimsby. My Dolomite 1850 needed work, and the garage around the corner from where I was staying happened to be a Citroen dealer.
So one weekend, rather than the 270 mile round trip being done in a Dolomite with overdrive, it was done in an Ami 8. 602cc of raw power. Friday flat out towards home and the pub was quite a laugh. 6am Monday morning heading back for a week's work and the constant noise of the little flat twin was less attractive.
Of course an increasing issue for garages looking to provide cheap courtesy cars is the proportion of their customers who can't drive a manual.
