Whilst at college in Nottingham doing my A levels, a friend had a convertible Fiat Topolino which was rather novel. Later he was bought a 1500 Metropolitan which I really enjoyed, both as a driver and as a passenger. It was relatively fast and accelerated well...in those days. Girls loved it but there wasn't much room for them! Remember running into the back of a taxi outside the Black Boy. ( those who know the city will remember this, now sadly lost, establishment ) The driver was none too happy but a few pound notes changed hands and we ended up in a bar drinking ( even more ) with him! Irresponsible but happy days!
