Physically, the Powerdrive was larger than other cars in this class, with full-size 13-inch wheels and a large amount of luggage space at both the front and rear.[3] The car's design and styling attracted much praise at its launch at the Dorchester Hotel in London in July 1955.[4][5] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite journal|date=13 December 1956|title=The 322cc Two-Stroke Powerdrive|journal=Motor Cycling}} 2. ^{{cite book|last=Marshall|first=Tony|title=Microcars|year=1999|publisher=Sutton Publishing Limited|location=Stroud|isbn=0-7509-2082-3|page=72|chapter=4}} 3. ^{{cite book|last=Zeichner|first=Walter|title=Kleinwagen International|year=1990|publisher=Bleicher Verlag|location=Gerlingen|isbn=3-88350-160-3|page=190}} 4. ^{{cite news|date=30 July 1955|work=Daily Mirror|page=5}} 5. ^{{cite news|date=30 July 1955|work=Daily Express|page=5}} External links
