Was it an Isuzu, which looked like a bubble, or a Messerschmitt, which despite its name, was a 3 wheeler with 2 wheels at the front, and the passenger sat behind the driver? A friend at University had one and used to frighten passengers by threatening to drive under lorries.

Another friend had an MG, 1950's style, and another a Morgan, which had a long bonnet which opened on either side. It was held down by leather straps, but the one on the passenger side occasionally worked loose, so the passenger had to hang out of the window holding the bonnet down. No point in stopping once we'd got it going. Just as well it was open top.

It was the German variety and I sat behind my uncle. The bit I could never cope with was the way the door opened with the steering wheel still attached to it.

Yours must have been the Heinkel.

Quite a come down after their war effort.

I wonder if they were all made of fighter and bomber spare parts.
