This semi-automatic version chassis was prepared for a car-show. Please note the presence of the steering column support.

For the rear, they had to make an engine support with two tubes, as the automatic chassis does not have the tips supporting the gearbox.

Very nice profile schema of the 1500S. Note the light angle made by the engine and the gear-box with the chassis.

As you can see, the Type 3 has the advantage to have a boot at the front and at the rear, which was, at that time, surprising.

 

The Type 3 concept is based on safety. You can note the door reinforcement, quite strong.
