I find my inherited Jazz a pain on narrow metalled roads. The enormous windscren is a worry. Unlike the Seven and later the wheels are at the full width, which, combined with width, takes up as much road room as a light truck. Over the decades I have had a few incidents where keeping extreme left my car has started to slip down the edge camber; with rwd can power out but with fwd less control.
The original baked enamel thick seemingly high carbon Seven guards resist brushes, but with moderns the merest touch leaves a crease in the tinfoil.
For fifty years , several times a year, in my ancient conveyances, I have travelled 360 mile up and down NI and hunted out all not too indirect alternative routes. Grass growing in the centre is a good sign but now hard to find, and near everything has succumbed to large bulldozers, there being no ancient walls or bridges or buidings to obstruct.
