My Dad ran 3 Maxi's in the early 70's, the twin carb jobbie was awesome - the original one pedal driver. You could go into corners tight, then power understeer corrections - brilliant.

BTW Maxi : first mass produced UK car to have 5 gears, 5 doors, cable operated gear box, front wheel drive - How long did it take Ford/Vauxhall et all to catch up??
It should have been a success, but was unloved by management so wasn't
