Another Egon Brusch creation, the Rollera was built in France by a company called Societe Rollera Francaise. This car is one of only three known to survive. It had been used, for a time, as a children’s sandbox toy.

The Strømmen Car
Posted in Automobiles, DIY project, Retro DIY projects, Retro technology, The forties, tagged Homemade cars, Homemade Norwegian cars, Micro cars, mini cars on June 11, 2014| Leave a Comment »
This two-seater is partly a mystery car. It is known that it was built in 1949 in Strømmen, a place in Skedsmo, Akershus, some 8 km from Oslo in Norway. The car weighed 200 kg and its top speed was 50 kmh. No ifo is available about the engine.
For the time being let’s call it the “Strømmenbil”. Looking at the picture an educated guess tells that builder has used a lot of plywood. No doors. It looks like a three-wheeler, but most probably had 2 rear wheels very close together, like the Isetta. Rear wheel driving (no differential) and front wheel steering? Who knows more? The registration number looks genuine, so the builder obviously got it approved for general traffic.

This Scootacar, a rather late model as microcars go, is from England. Like many microcars, it’s essentially a three-wheeled scooter with an enclosed body. It’s even steered using something that looks very much like handlebars. Only 1,500 were made and very few has survived.

The Renault 4CV
Posted in Automobiles, Retro technology, tagged French cars, Micro cars, mini cars, Renault 4CV on May 13, 2014| 2 Comments »
The Renault 4CV (French: "quatre chevaux" [katʃə.vo]) is an economy car produced by the French manufacturer Renault from August 1947 until July 1961. The first French car to sell over a million units, the 4CV was superseded by the Dauphine.
The 4CV was a four-door sedan of monocoque construction, 3.6 m (11 ft 10 in) in length with front suicide doors and using Renault’s Ventoux engine in a rear-engine, rear-wheel drive layout.
CV is the abbreviation of cheval-vapeur, the French equivalent to "horsepower" as a unit of power. The name 4CV refers to the car’s tax horsepower.
In 1996, Renault presented a concept car — the Renault Fiftie — to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 4CV’s debut. It was a two-door, mid-engine design with styling similar to the 4CV.
Conception and development
The 4CV was originally conceived and designed covertly by Renault engineers during the World War II German occupation of France, when the manufacturer was under strict orders to design and produce only commercial and military vehicles. Between 1941 and 1944 Renault was placed under the Technical Directorship of a francophile engineer called Wilhelm von Urach (de; between 1927 and 1940 employed by Daimler Benz) who took care to notice nothing of the small car project.
A design team led by the company’s Technical Director Fernand Picard, recently returned from Renault’s aero-engine division to the auto business and Charles-Edmond Serre, who had been with Renault for longer than virtually anyone else envisioned a small, economical car suitable for the period of austerity which was expected to follow the war. This was in contrast to Louis Renault himself who in 1940 believed that after the war Renault would need to concentrate on its traditional mid-range cars. Jean-Auguste Riolfo, head of the test department, was made aware of the project from an early stage as were several other heads of department.
In May 1941 Louis Renault himself burst into an office to find Serre and Picard studying a mock-up for the car’s engine. By the end of an uncomfortable ad hoc meeting Renault’s approval for the project, now accorded the code "106E", was provided. However, because the Germans had forbidden work on any new passenger car models, the 4CV development was defined, if at all, as a low priority spin-off from a project to develop a new engine for a post-war return of the company’s 1930s small car, the Juvaquatre: departmental bosses installed by the Germans were definitely not to be trusted in respect of "Project 106E", while von Urach, their overlord, always managed to turn a blind eye to the whole business.

Hanomag 2/10 PS (The Komissbrot)
Posted in Article, Automobiles, Retro technology, The twenties, tagged Berman cars, Hanomag 2/10 PS, Micro cars, mini cars, The Komissbrot on May 12, 2014| 1 Comment »
The Hanomag 2/10 PS was an economy car manufactured by Hanomag from 1924 to 1928. It was one of the first cars with envelope styling. It was affectionately referred to as the "Kommissbrot" or "Loaf of Rye Bread" due to its small squarish shape.
With a fuel consumption of 4.0 litres per 100 kilometres (71 mpg), the 2/10 PS was the world’s most fuel efficient mass-production car between the two World Wars. This was because it was the only mass-produced car of that time with a low-friction one-cylinder-engine and its light weight.
The 2/10 PS (two taxable / ten brake horsepower) had a single-cylinder half litre engine at the rear. The rear axle was chain-driven, with no differential.
The fenders, or wings, of the 2/10 PS were integrated into the bodywork of the car, allowing the passenger space to be wider than it would have been with the traditional separate fenders and running board. The compact drivetrain allowed the floor to be lower, making it possible to enter the car from the ground without a running board. The rounded appearance of the 2/10 PS, due to the envelope styling, earned it the nickname Kommissbrot after the inexpensive, flat-sided bread used by the military.
The 2/10 PS faced competition from the Opel Laubfrosch and the Dixi DA1 variant of the Austin 7 and was replaced in 1928 by the more conventional 3/16 PS model.

The James “Samson” Handyvan
Posted in Automobiles, Facts, The thirties, Transportation, Traveling, tagged James “Samson” Handyvan, James Handyvan, Micro cars, mini cars, Three -wheelers on May 5, 2014| 4 Comments »
In 1929 the James Cycle Company launched the James Handy van. This was a 5 cwt van based around the James motorcycle using its 247cc engine. The vehicle was continually updated and in 1933 the James “Samson” Handy van was introduced powered by an air-cooled, v-twin 1,096cc engine. The Samson had an aluminium body and a new welded steel frame chassis. The rear section of the body gave a loading area of 12 cwt and it also featured dual petrol tanks with one acting as a reserve tank whilst the other was in use. The Samson Handyvan came in two body types; the enclosed Van body and the open Truck type body. The company ceased production in 1939.

1957 – Clúa 500cc
Posted in Automobiles, The fifties, tagged 1957, Clúa 500cc, Micro cars, mini cars, Spanish cars on April 26, 2014| 2 Comments »
The Clúa is a roadster that was introduced in 1957 by Mechanical Clúa Construcciones S. L, Spain. Its consumption was approximately 5l/100 km, and its maximum speed 75 km / h. Customers were promised that in case of defects, the money would be returned. A mismatch in the contracts caused so many returns, that in 1962 the company went bankrupt. There were three versions of 350, 400 and 500 cc, for an average price of 64,000 pesetas (about US$ 3,500 then). In total approximately one hundred cars were manufactured.

AC Petite
Posted in Automobiles, British, The fifties, Transportation, Traveling, tagged AC Petite, Bobble cars, Micro cars, mini cars on April 22, 2014| 6 Comments »

It was available in various configurations: Berlina (saloon), Cabriolet (roadster), Trasformabile (convertible), Panoramica(station wagon), and Furgoncino (van). The car was presented to the public on 16 September 1957 at the Museum of Science and Technology in Milan.
AutoBianchi Bianchina Trasformabile
Initially, the car was equipped with the smallest Fiat engine, air-cooled 479 cc producing 15 hp (11 kW). In 1959, the engine power was increased to 17 hp (13 kW) and in 1960, the cabriolet version was launched.
AutoBianchi Bianchina Panoramica

Posted in Automobiles, Retro technology, tagged 1959, Bugatti OTI, French cars, Micro cars, mini cars on April 14, 2014| Leave a Comment »
The Bugatti Motor company was first formed in 1909 in Molsheim, France. Bugatti’s founder;Ettore Bugatti, however had built and designed his first vehicle in 1901. As an apprentice to the bicycle manufacturer, Prinetti et Stucchi, Bugatti had entered a number of races using the companies De Dion powered 3-wheeler. This inspired Bugatti to build his own 3-wheeler that was powered by a twin engine. After this vehicle Bugatti then concentrated on 4-wheelers. With the onset of the second World War Bugatti left Molsheim and moved to a factory in Bordeaux, though the Molsheim factory was recovered after the war but not used.
In 1959 the factory was opened up and it produced the OTI. As the vehicle was made in the old Bugatti works it featured the famous Bugatti front grille. A one off, the vehicle was powered by a 125cc engine and featured an aluminium body.

Volugrafo 1946 “Bimbo 46”
Posted in Article, Automobiles, The forties, tagged 1946, Italian cars, Micro cars, mini cars, Volugrafo Bimbo 46 on April 1, 2014| 3 Comments »
Although it looks like it just jumped off the pages of a comic book, the Volugrafo “Bimbo 46” wasn’t drawn by a cartoonist. It was one of the vehicles designed after the Second World War to meet the needs of the many people who yearned for movement, but couldn’t afford much.
Seeing a photo of it, at first you may think it was a scale model or toy. You might expect Donald Duck and his nephews, Huey, Dewey and Louie, to get in and drive off. In fact, this is a real car, designed by engineer Claudio Belmondo and made by Turin’s Officine meccaniche Volugrafo in 1946.
The small car, fitted with a 125cc four-stroke engine, has no doors and no reverse (when needed, you get out and maneuver the car – small, but by no means light at 125 kilograms – by sheer muscle power).
Only two meters long, it has two seats, four pedals – brake, accelerator, clutch, and ignition –, stick shift at the driver’s left, one driving wheel, and chain drive.
Instead of shock absorbers, it uses simple leaf springs to make bumpy rides slightly more comfortable.
And it makes for an unexpected and fun sight when it jogs along a country road… like a cartoon.

1958 Nobel 200
Posted in Article, Automobiles, British, The fifties, Transportation, Traveling, tagged 1958, Micro cars, mini cars, Nobel 200 on February 4, 2014| Leave a Comment »
To replace the discontinued Heinkel in 1958, UK distributors Noble Motors asked an associated company, York Noble Industries, to find a suitable car. This took the form of the German Fuldamobil S-7, for which a license was obtained. Flamboyant Company Director York Noble (often misspelled as the same as the car) assembled a group of sub-contractors to build it, including the Bristol Aeroplane Company, Rubery Owen, Sachs, and local suppliers for the smaller parts, with assembly performed by aircraft and shipbuilders Short Brothers and Harland of Belfast. Noble appointed the newspaper-worthy ex-Princess of Iran, Soraya, as co-director. Even the Fuldamobil directors were astonished at the amount of publicity “their” car generated.
German Fuldas were imported while production got underway, with the launch taking place in February 1959. Shorts were now building the bodies. UK cars differed from the German in the use of two-tone paint finishes that were divided by a large Z molding, a solid roof, and they were mostly in right-hand drive form. A pickup truck, open roadster, and a kit were also produced in small numbers, but Shorts sold the molds in late-1959.

1956 Paul Vallée
Posted in Article, Automobiles, The fifties, Transportation, tagged 1956, Micro cars, mini cars, Paul Vallée on January 28, 2014| 7 Comments »
Paul Vallée was a wealthy industrialist with a complex and interesting personality. He could anticipate novel ideas before others, yet he did not carry them through in practical terms. He ran a successful transport business, married into wealth, and opened a mechanical shop called S.I.C.R.A.F. (Société Industrielle de Constructions et de Réparation des Automobiles Francaises). He founded and ran a successful Grand Prix team, the Écurie France, which fielded the magnificent Talbot-Lago T26 racing cars driven by legendary drivers like Louis Chiron. However, he regarded the Grand Prix team not as an end in itself, but as a way of promoting his other businesses, scooters included.
Vallée had anticipated the widespread need for a scooter during the post-war recovery period very early on, but it was overtaken by Vespa and Lambretta, who took the idea a great deal further. The Paul Vallée scooter won enthusiastic praise for its superb finish and its highly original large-diameter telescopic front fork. It was premature praise though, as the scooter proved somewhat unstable on the road. The problem was eliminated by replacing the fork with a two-wheeled load platform, and the iconic Paul Vallée Triporteur was built in the large quantity of about 5,000 examples; it was seemingly seen scuttling about in every village in France.
Vallée’s disbanded racing team’s heritage resurfaced at the Paris Salon of 1952, where he displayed a small, very streamlined monoposto “racer” with a Brooklands-style windscreen. The chassis and motor were none other than the Triporteur 175, clothed in a sensational steel body by Paul Née. Performance approaching 100 km/h was promised. Also on the stand were studies for a two-seater version with a bench seat and full-width windscreen, which would serve to lay the groundwork for the next project.
This appeared at the Paris Salon of 1955 in the form of the Paul Vallée Chantecler, a three-wheeler with a streamlined teardrop fiberglass body tapering to a pointed tail. The bench seat was wide and comfortable, the low sides and D-shaped steering wheel offering easy entrance. The windshield was of very solid construction with sturdy posts, which supported a convertible top and side screens. Conventional folding top bows were eschewed in favour of a highly original T-shaped single fiberglass bow, which retracted into the body. Flat spring-steel bumpers in the front and rear were a useful addition to what was intended as an urban runabout.

The Allard Clipper
Posted in Article, Automobiles, The fifties, tagged Allard Clipper, fiberglass cars, Micro cars on January 14, 2014| 3 Comments »
The Allard Clipper was first created in the UK in 1953 by the sports car maker Sydney Allard. Despite winning the 1952 Monte Carlo Rally in a sports car of his own design, the sales of Allard sports cars were swamped by manufacturers like Jaguar and so Sydney Allard decided to design an economical car. The Allard Clipper was designed by David Gottleib and had an “indestructible” plastic body that was made by Hordern-Richmond Ltd. This made it the first car to have a plastic body. It was powered by a 346cc Villiers twin engine that powered one of the rear wheels.
Unfortunately the Allard Clipper was to suffer from many problems that included cooling and weak drive shafts and so manufacture ceased in 1955 after only about twenty vehicles were made. It is believed to date that only two vehicles still exist.
