I bought my Nippy from a man trading Austins from The Barn about 1985. It had a lot of problems. By coincidence a man at the end of my road in Cambridge bought a Swallow saloon from the same place the same week.
The man was very big and I could never work out how if got in and out. He looked to be wider round the middle than the door aperture. However I saw him driving it about but am dubious whether he could control it!
That car also had problems. The rear brake cables had been changed to rods with really weird effects on braking and handling. Ray Walker quickly converted them back to cables and fixed various other problems too.
