A long long time ago, I had just stopped off at my local Garage (bodger) who was responsible mainly for me being able to run a car in those days. As I walked in the doors I noticed an 1100 in the way, it was immaculate (but it was a long time ago and there were a lot about then....I had just pulled up in one of her Majesty's Panda striped ones). I spoke to the owner Dick and he (knowing of my interest in cars ) said 'Ok smart arse whats different about this one then?' Indicating the 1100. I had a good walk round it and couldn't see anything wrong with it...(it would be easy to say I had but I'll tell the story truthfully) I explained that it looked OK to me and I then was shown the fact that it was in fact a 3 door! No not a hatchback but a car with 1 door (the drivers) on the O/side and two on the N/side....bloke had it specially built as he worked at Leylands; so his kids couldn't get out of the car into the road! Anyone ever see one of these? Might have been totally unique.
