A lot of these comments could and would have been made about any bubblecar that might have managed to last to 1969. Even the Goggo was on its last gasp as the AWS Piccola/Shopper. It answers the questions to anyone who queries why the Microcar pretty much died out. The customer wanted and could see better. It is a matter of interest that ICs were the last of the Microcars really but by dint of Government subsidy to a restricted group of drivers. I suggest this means they have to be considered microcars at this time while I totally accept their status as a differing class of vehicle. Nothing is ever simple.
