Cony

At 360cc it's technically micro, being in Portugal is the downside though  :-\

Always thought these were Subaru, but they're actually built by Aichi Machine Industry Co... later to be bought by Nissan! But because it's a commercial wagon they're excluded from usual micro circles  ;D

Not excluded by all, The Hammond family, founders of Rumcars are pretty keen on them.

Yeah me too, quite like these little vans as they're fairly underrated, obviously they like them in the US and Japan, as for the Mochet I love it! After all, many commercial bubblecar's were outright disasters but now sought after!

i think there is a distinction , often recognised in legislation , between an outright van or truck and a car based commercial . no- one surely would suggest that an Isetta pick up , Trojan bubble van , Nobel pick up, Bond Minivan etc. were not unusual microcars . you didn't post a pic so i looked it up to remind myself and yes it too like the Mochet Camionette - very much

Cony fits in with the Honda TN7 series. At 360cc they were micro. 600cc, please yourselves.
