Read through this if ya haven't already.
Tina scooters began to flow from the new production line in March 1962, and serious faults became evident almost immediately ... frames were bending and engines proving impossible to start, but by far the most serious concern was a problem that caused the automatic transmission to lock solid.
Anticlockwise speedometers are neat.
