The early Bond Minicars (later referred to as Mark aS) were stark,
simple, 300 pound vehicles with no rear suspension, no front brakes, a
frameless Plexiglas windshield, wire-and-bobbin steering, and a small
122-cubic centimeter motor. They gained a solid following, however,
and were soon being stretched beyond their design limits on long
trips. So the steering was replaced by a rack and pinion, the Plexiglas
windshield by Triplex glass, and the motor was replaced by a larger
197-cubic centimeter one, all available on the Deluxe model. This
constant process of improvement and upgrading, the elements of which
could be had as retrofits for older models, was a practice that was
carried on for the entire life of the car.
