One of these lives in my neighborhood.

I 've had to push one of these suckers a few times.

 

[dublin boy]

They certainly get around Goodwood at unbelievable speed.

[TimJ]

This was an easy one for me. 

[Russell C]

No idea. Open to chopping the top and sectioning the body, though.

[dublin boy]

Good evening Tim, how's tricks?

[Ace-Garageguy]

...Open to chopping the top and sectioning the body, though.

Much nicer proportions, it becomes a good looking car. Unfortunately, the real one is so tiny, nobody much over 4 feet tall could drive the chopped-and-sectioned version.

[peteski]

Those directional "hands" on the B-pillars look cute.  I have no clue what car it is, but the fender-mounted mirrors say something to me.  We'll see if I'm correct . . .

True. All the "Adult" interior space is vertical in these.

[Russell C]

True. All the "Adult" interior space is vertical in these.

Still don't know what it is. Suppose then it must be like chopping and sectioning an American Bantam, you'd end up with an oversize pedal car needing a major hole in the roof so you could sit in it.

I hope that it wasn't to easy.

Congratulations

Don't knock it - Graham Hill used a modified one (still looked standard but would do near enough 100mph) to travel to races all over Europe during his time as a top level Formula 1 driver. Would cruise all day at 80mph - 5 or 10mph more than the standard cars top speed. An ex-girlfriend of mine drove one with some verve back in the '80s.

Cheers,

-Don.

...  Graham Hill used a modified one (still looked standard but would do near enough 100mph) to travel to races all over Europe...

Ya learn something every day. Or at least I do anyway. In the effort to find a photo of Hill's car ....

... I should have guessed folks would go and race these things.
