:o Cor! I'd keep it just like that! I like it, I like it! ;D :-* 8)

It is a complete woofer, but funnily enough I kind of agree with Stuart! It looks like a farmer has tried to mate a Fergie with a KR to try and produce a Morgan F "lookalike".

Wow! I never knew P50s had SO much space in them! Nice bit of photo-shopping. like the sites, especially cycle master, maybe I should fit one of those on my Drum Car and break my Land Speed Record again.

Nice job Triporteur.
;D Couldn't you beat-up the 'P50 plus' as well. Too clean & straight. :D Ian.

Is this beat up enough? The same car (on the right) Polegate, East Sussex, 1976 when in the hands of Bob Dobie. :o

why can't ALL microcars have DKW engines grafted onto the front of them?
these are just great.
note to Kit Car mfgrs: This market is Wide Open!

Actually that gave me an idea.
I have a 1947 159" wheel-base Packard Combination Car, maybe I'll just graft the front end etc from a DKW onto/into it. Then it would fit the criteria for Rumcars. Would it???. If not, I could still store five or six micros inside it. ???

Thanks Tripoteur. As you can see, im just testdriving the car out of the Story Museum.
Maybe i don't need a trailer anymore to pick the Trident up. Its now fast enough for motorways! ;) ;)

Actually Ferdi, my first design was the one below. But I don't know you and I didn't want to abuse you as well as your beautiful car :)
"Maybe i don't need a trailer anymore to pick the Trident up. Its now fast enough for motorways!"
...and that's an interesting point; perhaps if the oil crisis had hit very much earlier, car design had changed accordingly and many more microcars had been produced, someone would have designed drive-on motorized trailers for them for inter-city use?

Yep, iim driving the Peels and the Schmitts more often now. On the one hand its more fun to dive a microcar than a usual one, and on the other hand i do save petrol. This stuff is also very expensive in Germany nowadays.
Cheers Ferdi
Ps. Thanks for the funny pic's Colin :)

Just nipping back to the original vehicle of this thread, naturally I'm keeping an eye on it, and it was interesting to notice, that in the past 12 hours, no less than four bids have been retracted on it. At 11am UK time it was pushing nearly $2,000 with 19 bids placed. By 5pm it was back down to about $1,500 with only 15 bids placed. Is this another "£35,000 Trident" situation unfolding, or are folk just getting cold feet?

Maybe this is your bid incognito, Stuart? ::) I think its now down to $1,225 or so, with five hours to go.
-
...or are folk just getting cold feet?
I think that might be it.
I have a feeling people saw "Messerschmitt for sale" and put in a bid and then later went back to see what it was exactly they were bidding on and decided that it might just be a little more work than they wanted.
However, looking at the bid history, it only show One Person has retracted their bid. ($1900) So it is not like they are leaving in droves....
There are many people that "want" a Messerschmitt or an Isetta and a number of them "want" one simply because they have heard about them or remember them.
How many people have you seen at car shows pointing at an Isetta and saying "look, that there's a Messerschmitt! made from old Aircraft parts!" or pointing at a Messerschmitt and saying "There's that car that opens at the front! I think it was made by BMW!"
Just last weekend I was at a small car show with my Zündapp Janus and a guy came up and was telling his wife about the BMW Isetta, which apparently also had a door in the front but it also had only One Wheel in the front as well.
When I tried to politely engage the obviously very knowledgeable gentleman and suggest that possibly he was thinking it had 3 wheels with one at the REAR, he would have none of it and he simply replied "Its a FACT, GOOGLE it!"
Several club magazines, including "The Isetta Spotter's Guide" would not sway him.
Heaven forbid he is shown to be incorrect about his knowledge of automobiles in front of his wife!

Colin, why don't you call this car "Janetta"? Sounds nice and female for me! 8)
