This Attica / Fuldamobil / Nobel is for sale in Greece. The front seat and the rear window appear to be missing. It doesn't say whether the Heinkel engine can be resuscitated. The same vendor is offering a BMW 600.

Nice! I know the guy who found it, it was in a scrapyard, I have pics of them rescuing it from there, even when its on top of other cars!

No, he is Rusty Chrome! In memory of Leslie Nielson there.
There was one floating about in Britain somewhere. It was imported by an AA guy from Bracknell way if I remember correctly. He visited me several times looking at my stock but wanting something 'cheaper but very unusual'. Firstly he bought the worlds only LHD three wheeled bubbletop Isetta (from Alan Tozzer of Henley, or certainly one of his creations I think)..... This he drove to several Wyvern Pubnights (like the Pheonix Pubnights at Hartney Wintney) off the A34 where he anounced a plan to buy cars from Greece. I advised against this, having looked into it as what could be bought very cheap would cost a fortune to export in fees and logistics. Then he bought an Attica and Attila from a Greek Island. He fetched these back by trailer and it cost a small fortune - £3k? including backhanders to officials who invented reasons he could not do things. These appeared unrestored at a few meetings like Dave Tadman's Kent job where it was against the newly restored Bob Purton Inter which came from me. Sadly chum died young and the cars moved on. I failed to get the cars.
They later appeared at the Bubblecar Museum and seem to be owned by Andy Carter and Mike Cooper but I do not recall who had which. I still fancied doing the Heinkel fourwheeler approach as I am fairly convinced it would be a better car than the Sachs engined machines at the time of the auction there. It was still more than I would pay and since I have lost track of them as I am no longer interested in either project. NO idea what happened to the Isetta and if it is still a three wheeler.

I remember those Greek cars, I'm sure they were for sale for some time advertised in Rumcar News. LIke a lot of cars back then nobody was interested at the time. Daves Kent rally was fun, I think that was the first time I saw a Decsa lisa [is that right?] from San Marino.

... which were also imported to France as the Lambretta Lisa :)

Personally, I am not keen on 10% deposits in 24 hours, especially since a couple of years ago I saw the same Isetta offered within two days of each other in the UK and in another European country. But I'm sure it's all OK and the vendor has just had a bad experience in the past.
