   Judging by the legroom, maybe they should have gone for 16 inches!

   The design is more Citroen-esque than Italian... but an interesting piece of AC history finds a new home!

I think the front seats are pushed right back in these photos.

I`m sure, but if I was designing a car, I`d still want a human to fit at the full travel, it`s not as if it`s a 2+2 with back seats in name only!!! Maybe part of the reason it never entered production?!

Perhaps there's a third row of seat we cant see and its a 7 seater!  Looks very Citroen Cx to me.
