Sounds like the same platform as a Willam then with the Fiat and BCB set up.

Certainly the Fiat box of tricks. It makes sense that the engine would be sourced from a company under the same umbrella as Fiat. I cannot say I can get exited about the end product. It is one thing when little cars were useless but stylish but when they are lumpy I start loosing interest. Where has style gone in modern automobiles? There are so few good looking machines and of those some a ridiculously expensive so do not really count. I feel very sorry for the Tonka Toys which feel the need to barge me out of the way in my 20 year old 'modern' as clearly I am meant to be impressed. Nop.

It's quirky and silly enough for me to like, but obviously flawed, as someone put the rear windows in upside down!  ;D

Well, he sold this Baldi before here: http://www.ebay.de/itm/320788551962
and as the price reserve seems to be higher this time, it seems he is trying to get
more money for it rather than selling it in the first auction...
 
I have an interest in the "not very cute looking thing" as it is a nice addition to my
Fiat 500 and I have lots of parts for that. Polyester body means easy repair and it
is small enough to go around here in Hamburg - not to worry too much for little
damages while parking, etc...

With the "cute" micros - way more expensive and less availability of spares - I would
not frequently use these in a bigger city,... Too many bad experience with people
banging their shopping carts or whatever against it...
