Look behind the Vespa 400. There are 2 Mini Comtesse, and what is the red one ?

Oh yes, so there is. I missed that the first time round! Take a good look everyone, I can see the funny French Fhings of the 70s & 80s becoming the next big thing in the micro world.  Noted also the kiddies pedal tractor sitting on their roofs. When you can't stand the Comtesse driving experiance any longer, you can ride that home!  Red thing. Scootacar Mk 1?  Frisky Family Three??  AC Acedes??? AC Petite????

I thought the red one's a Scootacar too, judging by it's height.

Not a Mk1 Scootacar. Back window's not a 'wraparound'. General shape's all wrong...

But if we did that, it would spoil our fun! Can anyone round here write & read Belgian to find out? The closest I can come to it is being an avid Tintin fan.....

It's French Stuart. Here's a Bable Fish translation.
Vespa 400 1958 Microcar to be restored but healthy. I sell it with regret but I do not have time to remake it! It acted of one of first Vespa 400 (one of first N of frame) The engine is deposited but it healthy with carbu and is not fixed! The car and supplements to 95% I think, it misses only parts which one must nevertheless always change when a car is restored. I have French papers in rules. There is an address or one absolutely finds all the parts for this machine. This car was in the south of France (Nice) of or its state of conservation point of view rusts. There is some petittes parts with resouder but really nothing low register! The headlights avoids shock, etc. are in the cars. Good bidding with all! ;D
