Is it a Micro?
« on: August 30, 2008, 05:50:07 PM »
Spotted this IFA -KF 126 on eBay.de, not seen one before, unsure how many wheels it has or if it's been modified: http://cgi.ebay.de/Oldtimer_W0QQitemZ180282845227QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item180282845227&_trkparms=39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A10%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Hi

Looks like a niice little micro in my opinion.

Looks a bit like a cross betweem a Mochette and a Mini.

First time I have seen one of these as well.

Hey John, you are really beginning to know your microcars! It does look like a Mochet from the front doesnt it. Shame there are no more views. Still dont know what it is!

I reckon it's is propped up by a stack of bricks, why else would the seller picture it with the door obscuring the rest of the car.

Hi Bob

I have just done a translation, and it looks like it's a one-off, perhaps they used a Mochette as a base?

Hi Blob

Glad to see you are getting the hang of Ebay sellers, although as 1.5 euros even I couldn't complain about the price ( so far anyway)

You could be right as there is a wheel inside the car though.

Hi Jim

Nice photo!  It solves a mystery for me, too - the box on the back is held down by
four clips - it's missing on Steve's Citadine and there was some speculation about
how the back end worked.
