as a teenager I bought the remains of an A7 special that charlie watt had built, one day my mate and I decided to put together a 'billy cart'.
The chassis had a roll bar for pushing and a swing axle ifs, no body, no motor. We bolted on a steering box etc but the pitman arm had to point UP.
The only brake was a cable strung between the front levers and we took turns, either sitting on the nose and lifting the cable; or pushing.
There was a good hill outside the front gate and the steep roadsides lined with blackberries.
Opposite lock takes on a new meaning; we came to grief.
