Yep I love small cars too. I loved my Midget. Would love a Frog Eye & thought the Smart sports car was great but bought a 4/4.

Which is odd as I am a fully paid up member of "Flying Pig Squadron" following the bacon butty & beer diet. So I tend to fill the space & reduce the bhp/ton.

My wife had in Holland (when we lived there in the 80s & 90s) a Subaru mini jumbo. A 5 seat hatch back driven by a three cylinder 650 cc 4 stroke engine. Generally the speed limit was 50 or 100 kph so it was a player in the boy racer games. Boy could that thing move if you played go carts & stressed it to hell & back.

At the time I had a 750cc T140V Bonnie and the a MG MkII Le Mans at 850cc. So the bikes were bigger, but that Subaru was often more fun.

Later on I worked as a consultant in Belgium and we as a team of 3 all usually got the then new SMART 2 seater. We raced them through Waterloo & like M3Ws you can get them on 2 wheels at roundabouts. Happy days.

That grille is not unlike this Daimler Conquest

Bit bizarre really IMHO. You can pay similarish money for a pretend car that doesn't look as good as the real one if you compare it to a plus 4.

A prefect proof that the statement "Just because you can does NOT mean that you should" is valid.

In copyright law, in the UK, that would be considered to be "passing off".
