Title: Flavia as a dune buggy?

I'm intrigued as to quite how they were testing this car:

I really like the styling of the early Flavia Sedans, particularly the 'piano key' dashboard. There are a couple in vgc round here in dark grey with long term owners who are very proud of them. Hints of commonality with Borgward Isabella styling I think, partic at the rear and unlike anything British of the time.

Here's the 'Piano Key' dash. This belongs to Giovanni Carenini who was our 'man on the ground' on the 2013 Mondovi trip. I'd never seen anything like it before so had to take this photo.
