Title: What is it?
Post by: blob on February 11, 2014, 12:40:16 pm

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but wondered what this is? http://www.leboncoin.fr/voitures/562850093.htm?ca=13_s

Looks familiar with something I saw in the US.

Dear Mike

It is a home built one off. Very nicely put together, it was at the Manresa rally last summer.
I think you would be too tall to drive it as the lady owner was a lot smaller than you.

this microcar is a home made prototype, moved by a 125 cc aubier -dunne  2T engine
is smallest than a mochet .
my frind that sells it as other threee wheelers ( kr,inter ,solyto avolette ) is probably giving space in his garage .....

 It's amazing how similar that car looks to the 1950 Dingwall Midget Car, though the Dingwall used a front mounted flat-twin Coventry Victor engine.

The owner of the blue car is well known French man Gilles Deloge ( wearing the tee shirt ). I'll be seeing him next month, as I've just rebuilt the engines for his Avolette and Schmitt and will shortly build up his Inter engine, now I've located replacement parts to fix it.                    Nick.
