My Ligier Nova was almost new, immaculate condition, petrol not diesel, and the performance was embarrassingly lethargic. Although 65mph was claimed it took an eternity to reach 50 mph. Like all the other variants it had no clutch pedal, no gears, just a centrifugal clutch and a variable speed belt drive.
However, around town it was a tiny vehicle, easy to park, and excellent for shopping , despite its body and door panels being made of Tupperware. Pic attached.
I loaned it to my son so he could drive it on his motorcycle licence. He rolled it. Nova finito.
