My Dad had an 1850 Maxi, in the favoured soiled nappy beige, it became my first car for a princely £300. It had a gear change like stirring a bucket of stones with a stick. It didn't go wrong until the engine finally seized 3 years later and would carry five riders plus bikes to a race. Fond memories might be pushing it a bit (my next car was an 80 sport quattro), but I almost mourned its death.

We had 2 maxi as a kid. Great for sleeping in and the cheapest car ever to lower, you just let some juice out of the system, I slammed mine 1 weekend to the point it wouldn’t move as the floor was dragging. Lucky I carried a can of juice to fill it back up.
Does anyone remember the Mud Machine Croydon’s shit Maxi skate ramp car?

Maxi was a great car. If it was so shit why would the Japs copy the suspension and even share bits with the honda crx?
The massive flat floor, the way rear seats fold up to give more space and the low boot opening.
If bl had injected the 1850 it would have been better than the golf.
