When they built the first prototypes, they made aluminium eyebrows, and the first day they drove them at Eastnor this tripped them off in the rust’. Memo chips in they remember that one because they brought it here and said they had to redesign it and they said “fine let’s have a go’.
The idea of deformable eyebrows come from another design project that pre dated the One Ten stage 2 called SD 5. This vehicle’s body was made of a deformable material that remembered its original shape and sprung back after minor knocks. Fewer than three years after Memo began working on the first sketches for the face lifted Series III that they now know as the One Ten the vehicle was in production, and there the story ends…. But not for long
Memo then fishes out another really interesting photograph that’s it, above right that causes us to pick up the story again.
