Ah the old KC/KE buses. Small, dodgy brakes and more often found parked at the side of the road with the engine bay door open.... still, I must admit I always liked them too. Think it was the engine noise which always reminded me of US buses (based on TV sound effects anyway!)

I gather though that when they were officially launched in the early 80's, the first of the double-decker versions wouldn't start!

In work ATM, but I've a picture at home on the laptop of a chopped old Mini so that it's a two seater. It's wine, can't seem to find it on google. Anyone have a pic of it?

They're known as 'Shortys', and because of the shortened wheelbase, probably the most unstable car ever :
