By Design: 1980 KV Mini 1
1980 KV Mini 1 - Design Analysis - Automobile Magazine
Sophisticated awfulness.

Automotive journalist and impresario Jay Lamm is a comic genius who sees all motoring manifestations in terms of their potential ridiculousness and then invents brilliant ways to share his skewed points of view. His absurd racing series for $500 clunkers, the 24 Hours of LeMons, has been a huge success, so he decided to expand his bad-car concept to include a pointed parody of the stuffed-shirt, big-bucks automotive potlatches known as concours (contests) of elegance. Held last August on Saturday afternoon between Friday's Concorso Italiano and Sunday's Pebble Beach lawn party, the Concours d'LeMons drew the expected coterie of Pacers, Pintos, Peugeots, and other horrors, but the runaway winner of Worst in Show was this 1980 KV Mini 1.inline_mediumwraptextright26538064/features/by_design/0911_1980_kv_mini_1_design_analysis0911_04_z+1980_kV_mini_1+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue
