>It’s a TiCi (pronounced tih-chee), and was the creation of a Furniture Design lecturer at the Loughborogh College named Anthony Hill. Hill actually worked for Ford doing instrumentation design in the 1960s, so he had some familiarity with the automotive world, but more importantly, he had a vision: a tiny city car that could park nose-to-curb, a concept that Smart revived decades later.
