The Kenguru is basically an updated version of the British 1970’s Elswick Envoy, which also had a single large rear door so the wheelchair user could just scoot straight in. And the Envoy was itself based on the William Towns-designed Minissima, a Mini replacement concept which never saw production, being judged ‘too advanced’ by British Leyland.
I'm not sure that disabled one is the only car made for disabked oeople - I remember there was a Reliant Robin-ish looking thing called Invacar and it was made especially for invalids and they were all the same light blueish colour.
Not really, Crosley was an american subcompact car maker from the 30s-50s, but their cars were bigger than most cars in this video. All crosleys had sub 1 litre engines, weighed no more than 1400 lb/635 kg, and most shared an 80 in/203 cm wheelbase chassis design. They were innovative too, first to make a mass produced, affordable overhead cam engine in 1946, and they were the first american automaker to build a car with disc brakes on all 4 wheels.
Because let's be honest they're a big bag of badgercock. It had barely any range, took ages to charge, acceleration and speed heavily depended on what you had for breakfast (even pottering around town it was an issue). Also because it was a teeny lump of plastic, it meant the crumple zones were your knees To be fair to it, it came out before Ev's were mainstream like they are today which meant they were seen in the same virtue signalling eco-warrior catagory as the Toyota Prius. (I am a brit btw, hence the rant slagging it off at the beginning 😂😂)
Bubble car came from the the German aircraft companies that made 3 wheelers in late 50s early 60s using the cockpits from aircraft front seat for driving rear seat for passengers the bubble was a Perspex lid over the driver similar to a fighter plane . You lot should do better research . Cheers from Australia
maybe just maybe check outside your belly buttons and do a bit more research those weren't the only ones micro cars ever built the SADO 550 was another one, you apparently missed...
Which would you drive?
Narrator man. Your voice makes me feel like a movie is about to start at the odeon. Did you have a career change?
IN A WORLD....
It would be super fun to see a microcar race at the Festival of Speed... or in this case, the lack of. 😎
What about the Messerschmidt KR175 & KR200 bubble cars? They are pretty damn small too.
they are a bit longer, but do work
The voice over person has a great rhythm to their line delivery
Tbf the Tango is an act of pure genius
Don't sleep on that sportscar claim for the Tango, that thing is *rapid*
I want to own a red and white Isetta

@@stigrabbid589 you didn`t get the point?
The original Peels are go for Graaazy money now. £ 111k.
Heh, I have my P50 tuned up in FH4 to go 156 mph. Its madness.
My friend’s p50 can go up to 300 in forza. I don’t even know how he did it.
what about the peel trident and the reliant robin?
Great video 👍🏾
Imagine being able to drag your car to it's parking spot 😂
the irony of lotus being consulted for safety
My 69 Subaru 360 Micro was pretty damn small and pretty damn cool.
What about the invacar would have thought that should be on the list.
Isetta by Iso Rivolta later sold and built by BMW
They are sooo cute !! 😁😁😍😍
The Fuldacar looks the best to me
Next, the seven largest cars ever produced.
I'm only 4kg heavier than a peel p50? What in the actual f
I need to put some weight on! 😳
Vespa 400 is missing !
Why do you Brits verbally hate the G-Whiz so much?

No smart car really the first gen was the smallest mass product In car in the world and the first safe one too
Wasn't the smallest ever, but yeah, the original Smart City Coupe was the smallest safe car.
maybe just maybe check outside your belly buttons and do a bit more research those weren't the only ones micro cars ever built the SADO 550 was another one, you apparently missed...
It’s only 7 cars dumbass
There were HUNDREDS more microcars built, but to cover them all would make the video three hours long.
@@AtheistOrphan it would have been worth it...
@@rover213 - I agree. I’d watch that!
@@AtheistOrphan Thinking about making that film gives us a twitch
First like, let's goo
Edit: And first view, too!
