They are a lovely looking car and well known to enthusiasts, I cant believe you are not familiar with them Richard, they are in all the books.

 ;D.  Good question, which calender is used by micronauts, Julian, Gregorian or luna? I would guess Looney!

Gregorian for Gregoire drivers?

I must admit that I know very little about Julien. I know the name and have seen a couple of pictures, but certainly far less familiar to me than most others. Is the engine in the back? Two close set rear wheels? Any survivors?

Back to my books then Bob , but I don't recall such a good looking car . Might I suggest owners of rusty micros might not go for a calendar at all but a collander ! Get it ? Don't strain yourself

Also been covered in Rumcar news.

You may have to "sieve" through your back issues.

There was also one in the Weiner auction with quite a decent write up.

I have two excellent Chris Rees books ( and it's Rees Bob , not Reece I get it wrong too  ;) ) both from 1995 ! " Three Wheelers from Messerschmitt, Benz to Bond and beyond" , Also" Microcar Mania the definitive history of the small car" . For a long time these were the only English language books that I was aware of on our subject . In one of these the Julien gets a 2 line entry but no picture . If it's in his latest volume then he has since found more info . As you say I have several " coffee table books" where unsurprsingly it gets no mention . Kleinwagen International is unfortunately in German so I do struggle with the text .

It's not in Chris Rees's recent "Three Wheelers A-Z" ... but then, it's not a three wheeler!
