HILLMAN HUSKY

- GREG POTTS

Introduced in 1954, the original MkI Hillman Husky was a strange creation. Essentially it was a dinky 2dr estate based on the Hillman Minx, but there was already a two-door Minx Estate with a longer wheelbase. The Husky was cheaper though, and had that excellent name.

BEDFORD BEAGLE

"Don't poodle about, better buy Beagle," read the adverts for the Bedford Beagle in the 1960s. Unfortunately, not many people did buy a Beagle, chiefly because it was just a Bedford HA van with some windows and extra seats, so it was slow, uncomfortable and unrefined.

Cupra Raval

The Cupra Raval is a smaller Born, as the Ibiza is a smaller Leon. Except... not. First, Cupra had design freedom for the Raval, whereas the Born is a VW ID.3 in lipstick. Second, the Raval is FWD, the Born rear. It's first of a posse of VAG small EVs, engineered by Cupra/Seat in Barcelona. We drove a near finished disguised prototype – the visual reveal comes later.
