Uff. A traditional American car without PS or PB must be a beast to drive.

I forgot that I drove other cars without PS. First, the one used by the 
driving school, which was a Seat 127. Weight unknown, but light.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEAT_127>

My father at that time had an Austin 1300.

This one was heavier, the metal plate was thick compared to today.

Then he bought a Peugeot 205. This one had assisted brakes. Not PS, though.

Some years later, we got an R5 for me.
