I used to be driven to school by my dad in one in the late 70's / early 80's. I had to get my school bag out of the boot when he dropped me off, which involved holding up the thin GRP rear panel with my left hand, whilst pulling out the (slightly toasted) bag with my right. The panel used to warp so badly if you didn't hold it dead-centre that I was convinced it would break!

He replaced it with an Esprit S3 after a while in about 1981.
