Just look at the delicacy of line and detail in that compared to a new bloatmobile

Mandatory "safety" standards* and bigger people are just a couple of the reasons why we have bloatmobiles.

• standards which mean that thicker A/B/C/D pillars cut down on visibility!

I broke the budget, sorry!

That's a delightful thing. Not sure I'd want to own and drive it though.

[Zonergem]

Another budget-buster, but not by an insane amount.

I give you one of the two known examples of the Frisky Prince.



13-16k estimate, though values are a bit of a guess-up as apparently this is the first time one has ever sold.

What on earth???

Reminds me of the Invacars, but with the running gear reversed.

[CharlesdeGaulle]

Yeah, that's a curio all right, but surely only a museum would ever want it?

[Lowtimer]

There is an (appropriately) smallish but very active collector market for these microcars.

Maybe it's just the rarity, but I think these look fantastic.

It does look good, but derivative. Looks Peugeot 504 Coupe, Fiat Dino and Gilbern Invader like to me.

[Captain Smerc]

Indeed , they are strangely attractive .

I'm officially going to need a MUCH bigger garage....

[Fun Bus]

I’m not a fan of the XJS. Quite why someone decided black wheels and a black stripe up the bonnet was a good idea I don’t know.

Standard, not modified XJS’ I’m a massive fan of.

I'll take the Renault 17 please

I like the Mitsubishi estate, I didn't know such a model existed, but I'm not sure that trader has a very good record in these parts.
