1975 Bricklin SV-1 review from North America
"As strong as an Ox with the speed of a Falcon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing I have had gone wrong with this car is the Air Lines for the doors go dry rotted since I live in a humid climate. The fuel gauge stopped working, but that was easy to fix, other than that the car has been awesome for me.
General comments?
This car seriously hauls the groceries. The gauges in the car and accurate, because I have had the car doing 141 mph and climbing. So the 160 mph Speedometer is accurate, the only reason I stopped is because I ran out of straight road!. This car is seriously tough because there was an accident one time involving a Bricklin and a full size Chevy pickup, the car broad-sided the Chevy and split it in half when the only damage to the car was a only broken windshield and damaged headlights (because it was night time).
