Announcements / Closure of the Forum to new posts
« Last Post by Rusty Chrome (Malcolm Parker) on March 12, 2022, 07:17:46 pm »
For several years, the number of postings on the forum have dwindled along with the number of members visiting the forum, and the consequently the trustees of The Archive of Microcars/ RUMcars have now taken the decision to close this forum to any further posts. The forum will continue to remain online for the foreseeable future as a repository of microcar information until the information contained within can be adequately refined and condensed into a more accessible form.

What happened to the next issue? I wanted to start buying one not too long ago. From what I can it's either discontinued or I don't know where to find it. I'd be grateful for some help here.

I'd say this could be a good choice. As a first vehicle it's even better that it's slow. We don't expect anything fast or high quality for that. It's a perfect go rounder to go to friends or do small shopping for a beginner.

Any updates about this project? I think we are all curious how is it going and have you already finished at least putting this new coat of paint! I have to say that this color makes this car look even more cute! I miss these kind of microcars  ;D

Dear OB1
Thank you for your reply and image
I think that we can assist you provided the engine size/power comes within our remit. There are a few vehicles that have a similar body, I just need to identify a few details with you first. Could you email me direct on chris@rumcars.org so we can discuss this off line.

Hi Rettus!

Let me bump this thread a bit because I am very curious to see how your car has turned up. I love the color choice and would really like to see the whole thing painted. That must have been a lot of meticulous work but I bet it was worth it!

I also use these tips to keep good care of my car. What I also do, is that I charge the battery if I haven't used it for longer than a week. What else? I also keep the doors slightly open to make sure there's fresh airflow to keep humidity away. Of course I check tyre pressure once a while.

Morning Chris,

Many thanks for your reply on my post regarding my issue trying to get my 2015 Mini jeep on the road. Applogies for missing your reply. I have an M.o.T and insurance, just failed at the last hurdle with the DVLA. They sent all my paperwork back asking that it would need an official owners  club to machine date it. The Many thanks in advance....

I received my copy of RCN149yesterday afternoon and have given it a quick flick through.  As usual it has a good balance between the classic and new cars.  It is also good to see that Chris has received articles from several people both in Britain and abroad, which must make his job easier not having to fill so many spaces himself.  Thank you Chris for a job well done. Jean
