Who wants a car with a fold up undercarriage? Daft idea anyway! Jealous? Me?
-
First time I've seen a car colour coordinated to match the garage. :D

that is a link to search results that have expired, remove the extraneous material from the end:
http://www.anciennes.net/annonce/20195299-Ventes-Auto-REYONNAH-microcar-.html
and it magically reappears.
It also appears if you go to the main page:
http://www.anciennes.net
and search for REYONNAH.
so I do not think it has sold.
also- just because something is listed for sale at a certain price does not mean it sold for that price.
That is the asking price. Not the sale price.

I'm not really sure it will be sold at 30 000, even if it is a rare car...Hard to drive and with simca 5 too big wheels....As said Jim, wanted price and sale price are very different. And the wanted price is too big for this kind of car. Is it ?
-
Hard to drive and with simca 5 too big wheels....
it will not be sold to someone who will drive it.

And more's the pity because thats exactly what I would do with it!

of course you would! But then you are the only person I know who would drive an Inter as well!

I guess you are right although there must be a few more genuine enthusiast out there who dont just want to sit and look at microcars. Its always puzzled me as to why people take the view that if its a rare car you wouldnt want to drive it, unless its a schmitt, isetta or hienkel its for looking at only! Well, I had to move my schmitt to another garage last week which happens to be down a country lane, I was reminded again how utterly useless they are to drive unless on a perfect road surface, you are literally thrown out of the seat by even moderate bumps, with a hienkel you need to have the delicate touch of a brain surgeon to be able to change gear without going from first to fourth in one sweep to mention just two major design faults in the more popular microcars. Have the suedo enthusiasts thought for a second how an Inter would cope with the same country lane? Still on eight inch wheels remember, let me enlighten you, it would glide over the rough surface due to its superior nieman ring suspension and that combined with hydraulic brakes make the schmitt look rather primative. I would imagine those big wheels on the Rayonnah would give a pretty good ride as well. Obviously all the cars have strengths and weeknesses but they were all made to be driven, not hung on a christmass tree!

Very eloquently put Bobbybubble.

I would certainly drive it, and an Inter and most other micros AND in Central London. My Trojan is pretty good over most potholes and speedbumps, the odd bad one causes a groan, but I always tell passengers that that bump would cost them a lot of green and folding at a theme park. I love the folding undercarriage on the Reyyonah, it would be great for the small space in my yard, and all I would have to do to make it a perfect car for me would be to add a propellor, gun turret and bomb bay.

Hello Piatti. Cool name! As a drummer I know that piatti is Italian for cymbals or plates
-
Hi Marcus. Trojans have an exceptionally good ride for a microcar, one of its strengths, good brakes too. What was the ride like in your Velorex? I thought Piatti was Italian for groovy little scooter! {one of my favourites, looks are straight out of the jetsons!}
-
Obviously all the cars have strengths and weeknesses but they were all made to be driven, not hung on a christmass tree!
yes and toys were made to be played with, not kept on a shelf for collectors to display.
and how many of you have a collection of toy cars like that at home?
-
I want the Rayonnah, but I'm 15,000 Euros too poor! :'(
-
Yes Jim, Play with them is what we do! It is worth remembering though that in the 1950's when these cars were spawned people in europe were very poor and mirocars were all that many could afford to run and they were the lucky ones! For example my father had to cycle some considerable distance to work each day before the 1960's when he graduated to a moped, eventually affording a Reliant regal to transport the family, microcars were not toys or novelties to us buy serious transport, folk didnt have a gas guzzler in the garage and also have a messerschmitt for a joke to amuse ones friends, that was it if you were lucky!Thankfully things are different now! BRING ON THE TOYS, LETS PLAY!!!

Stuart. 15K short? Anyone would think you were Scottish the way you carry on!!!! [Just a private joke between me and my travelling companion Stuart,see the thread "deathly silence!!, retromobil report. ]
-

no I was actually referring to Toy Cars, not Microcars.
I know many people that have collections of Toy Cars that were originally intended to be played with, but now they sit, carefully displayed, usually behind glass or up high on a shelf so the kids don't get to them.
-
no,i have a collection of dinkys and corgis dating back to the 40's,about 6 are in an open shelf,the other 200 are out on top of a cupboard and all get a good playing with!
-
Sorry Jim, I misunderstood, I could have spared you the tale of British postwar deprivation!
-
Well Bob, looks like I'm carrying on the trend, my everyday transport is a bicycle and one day I'll upgrade to a microcar.
