The record
It is forty years early. A raised four-wheel-drive version of an ordinary family saloon, sold to people who had to reach places, is the crossover idea in 1957 — except that this one had a two-speed rear gearbox behind its three-speed (four-speed from 1960) and could actually do it. The 410 began with the 1.2-litre flathead MZMA-402 of 35 hp; the 410N of 1958 took the overhead-valve 1.3-litre MZMA-407 of 45 hp.
