The two micros seemed to have disappeared from this site just as I was getting serious about trying to get it translated.
With 120 views, I am hoping that someone took down the seller's contact information so that I may be enabled to follow through.
Did anybody understand the language enough to be able to fill in what the seller was saying, and how to get in touch with him/ her?

Thomast came through with information allowing me to email the seller.
Both vehicles have been gone for some 6 months already.
Was the older looking vehicle an ansestor to the white Minicomtesse?

These are becoming very common! Another one on eBay ref 170960718882. looks more like an estate?

This one is also made by Acoma but is called a Mini Comtesse Break.
It looks in pretty good condition compared to others I have seen.

The Break only goes about 27km/h

See the others in the background of one of the photos.  No bargains here as I think  'Grahams Funnycars' goes to France for these cars regularly.

I doubt that it can be registered as a moped as it has four wheels - probably a quad - with higher Tax.

Also the full size lights have minuscule dim light bulbs inside so be warned - plenty to do to get this on the road in the UK.

I wonder if the new mopedcar category coming into force next year will be of any help in registering these older cars?

What is the size and type of engine configuration?
I heard the instructor telling the Teen driver to wait until the orange light glows before swicthing on the starter.  Is it a diesel?

The Axaim offering as a deisel 500 twin I think. They usually use a Kubota?

Dear Bob

The Axaim Coupe has a 2 cylinder deisel Kubota engine, and for those of you who are familier with it, it has a unique sound!!!! which does not quite go with the image.

I have driven the car in the magazine article and up to 30 mph it goes quite well.
