Citroën Bijou (1 of 211) 
The Citroën Bijou was assembled from 1959 until 1964. A total of 211 cars were produced.It was built to appeal to a demographic which, it subsequently became obvious, didn’t really exist.Amazingly, there wasn’t much demand in the home counties for a slightly more refined, but even slower version of a French farmers’ car that was much more expensive than comparable offerings such as the Austin Mini.It incorporated some components from the 2CV, notably the two-cylinder 425 cc 12 bhp engine and its advanced, independent front-to-rear interconnected suspension. Other ideas, such as the futuristic single-spoke steering wheel, were borrowed from the DS.Was there any method in the madness? Well, yes, as a contemporary report in Automobile Engineer magazine attempted to explain: “Rather than compete with well-established, mass-produced family cars, it was decided to produce a vehicle to appeal to a narrower but more discriminating market. In particular, there was thought to be a market for a small, high-quality, long-lasting vehicle as a second car in families already owning a larger one. Used for shopping and local motoring, such a vehicle would not need full family accommodation or high power.It should require only a minimum of maintenance and attention and be capable of resisting deterioration without the protection of a second garage. In both these aspects, the air-cooled engine and simple chassis design are advantages. The problem of outdoor storage could be met by the use of a non-rusting, non-corrodible body.” 
Despite (or possibly because of) its commercial failure at the time, the car soon acquired cult status among discerning afficionados of automotive esoterica and exotica.Not least because it is, undeniably, possessed of lavish amounts of quirkiness and charm.Today, they are as rare as teeth on a particularly endangered breed of hen.

Austin Mini Ute, 1971. The pick-up versions of the classic Mini were based on the Mini Van. Assembled in New Zealand, Austin Minis were built at the Associated Motor Industries Petone plant. They were popular in NZ (my primary school teacher had one) and continued to be made here after production in the UK had ceased. This one (which has been modified) is part of at display at Bill Richardson Transport World in Invercargill.
