Its a shame We didn't get the type 182 - RHD 181 -
with 4 doors that lifted off... with a windscreen that folded down or lifted off... a roof that lifted off or folded back...
The Safari in Mexico until 1970 - type 181
The Trekka in the UK - type 182
The thing in the USA... type 181
Here's a photo of 6 people plus 2 guitars enjoying themselves in a Mexican type 181 Safari....
With the wind in their hair.... Just as well the road wasn't bumpy or they may have lost one or two of the occupants....
Seat Belts may have been an extra in mexico....

I recall a guy in Tewantin tried to import these from Bali (I think) about 10 years ago with the intention of renting them out for use up Teewah beach, I think he had a couple but the bureaucrats put the stops to it and they were never heard of again. They also came with a locking diff as an optional extra.
