The twin engined Bond Minicar makes a lively burbling popping sound, one that cannot be ignored . Its fun to spin it around instead of reversing sometimes.
I had one of these Mark G Twin Minicars I used to drive to school in 1971/2 when the other kids had bikes! This one I bought from Mike and enjoyed for a couple of years.
"Arvy" towed a folding "Nutshell" caravan to Morecambe in Lancashire for one of the annual Bond Owners Club Rallies.
@WoelkerVideo Hi Gunter. I am sure Mr Bean could have lots of fun with a Bond! but he is known for playing with another British three wheeled car called a Reliant Robin.which stayed around to more recent times on our roads.
Another classic video of a classic car Mike, It brought back two memories, that trip from Cardiff to London pre M$ in my cousin's Bond back in 1965 and Mike morris a familiar face on TV many years ago was it Pebble Mill at one he was on?...Excellent work...Bob
@robmasterman Is 'nt video great? it allows you to slip back in time to re enjoy things that happened in the past We take travel by road as automatcally powerful, smooth,comfortable, safe and quiet today whereas not all that long ago we were motoring in much less comfort and accepted it as normal! I dont know what happened to Mike Morris who certainly was popular on TV on many channels back then. I wonder if anyone else knows?
@ADMIRALSCORNER Bob Masterman has very kindly done some research on Mike Morris and it appears he is still active behind the scenes with a film Company. He, in the past, worked with several different breakfast TV programs and was a newsreader on Yorkshire TV.
I have been asked about the familiar face of the third member in the group at 2.42. That is Mike Morris who was a TV presenter who interviewed we two microcar drivers on a motoring program about popular transport in the 1960s..
@howarth004 I never got to try it there! There was long steep hill coming back from the Stanton Drew Classic Rally that we often attended. It was OK going down but I had to do a 3 mile detour to avoid it coming back!

@WoelkerVideo Yes that was a unique feature of the Bond. It could turn around within its own length.
