Background to the round
It’s the 1960’s so you literally have nothing to do except taking psychedelic drugs, protesting about the Vietnam war and having children. But, seeing none of the three things mentioned above are a way of making money, your family probably rides around in something sad from Eastern Europe. Or worse: British Leyland. Your street smells like two-stroke oil and the seats of your sadness-mobile are made from the worst tweed you’ve ever touched. The interior consists of one dial and twenty-five ashtrays. Your house is brown. Life is brown. Help.

Aesthetics brief
For some reason, the worst cars in the history of the world (cheap family cars from the 60s) are some of the best looking. We all know style is more important than functionality. This is what the designers of these cars were actually doing. Making them look good instead of just making them work. So, that is your job too. Use your weirdest fixtures, open all the cans of off-colour paint with names like ‘far away cactus’ or ‘yellow from China Nr.3’. We want weird, cute and most of all entirely non-functional. But that last point is more pointed at the engineers.
Inspiration cars: VW Type 3, Austin 1100, Škoda 1000 MB, DAF 44, Saab 95/96, Toyota Corona
