You Can Own One Of These

What’s shorter than a Vespa and looks a bit like a Little Tikes Cozy Coupe? One of the rarest—and smallest—cars in the world.

The P.50 and Trident microcars were conceived in 1962 in the seaside town of Peel on the Isle of Man. Engineer Cyril Cannell, founder and owner of the company Peel Engineering, was fascinated by the then-new material fiberglass and began manufacturing boats from the reinforced lightweight material. In the early 1960s, he began experimenting with making cars from fiberglass and decided to try to produce an ultralight, ultra-compact vehicle—the ultimate bubble car. “The idea was simply to build a car that was able to take another person, as long as the two people weren’t too large,” he said in a short documentary. https://mymodernmet.com/worlds-smallest-car/?utm_source=GetTheElevatordotcom
