Note the exhaust under the front bumper. I defy anyone to drive one with the window open ( oops I nearly said window down) for an hour and not be sleepy.( not you Sleepy) In fact they were well known as "sleep machines" in the early 70's.
The exhaust was there so the sigs could sit in the back all day with the motor charging the batteries. OK for them - hell for the driver.

I wondered about that! My 109 had one of them before I bought it, but the dealer had to fit a standard exhaust to register it in Victoria.

That's interesting to read DeeJay, especially as I'm having my front exhaust reinstated soon.

the other irony there is that I found "coma~Toes" - II painted on the drivers side air vent on my FFR
