I drove one of the slowest compact cars in Japan.

After pitching different iterations of the Mini Moke to the British military as an alternative to the Land Rover for lighter duties, Austin moved further away from the Moke’s Mini roots with this, the Ant prototype from 1969. But Austin stopped pushing the Ant because Land Rover ceased to be a competitor when both companies came under the same corporate roof with the formation of British Leyland. Snapped at the British Motor Museum at Gaydon in 2023.

Okay, new arrival made it! And the experiment, which involved thickening the spindles the wheels attach to, seems to have been a success, so I'll make that change to other models printed in color going forward.

That puts this ’78 242 GT into a long tradition of my design advances being made on Volvos. My first car designed to snap together was the other weird ’78 two-door Volvo, the 262C Bertone. #WeirdCarMastodon #164scale
