"Wikipedia mentions the Maxi as a "successor to the principles of the R16, but Maxi did not come close, and THAT gear change!"
Some Maxi's had gearbox problems, but not ours. One feature I appreciated was the "Overdrive 5th Gear" a feature that wasn't to become common until later, this made the car brilliantly quiet (and economical) when cruising the Autobahns. Plus the back seat folded down to make a double bed - kids loved it!
My BFG registered Maxi c. 1973 near the San Bernardino pass in Switzerland on the way to Italy.
