The world needs micro cars like these again.

How can these cars not put a big smile on your face!? I wish they would come back 😥

Generally I dislike minivans, but I really like that Fiat Multipla. Nice streamlining, cute design, and can apparently carry 6 people! Thats pretty damn clever packaging for such a small car

The Zundapp has to be one of the most interesting car out there.

:-) Little pearls of history: Fiat 600 multipla was widely used as a taxi or family car in Italy... the BMW isetta was built with the ISO "Rivolta" license, the BMW factory was in crisis and this car somehow resolved the destiny of the BMW (1958)

I just love The Messerschmitt Tiger. It is an absolute work of art!

that fiat is impressive, 6 passengers in something of that size

Most people talk about the tiny cars. I can't get over the fantastic mustache.

2:31 Dennis, Had I seen this show before you featured my Powell I would have showed you my Zundapp tattoo ! I had a '56 Bella R201 scooter, very art deco

Can't believe that all old car in very good conditions. Love it very much

The Vespa 400 was designed and licenced from Vespa but the manufacturer is the French company ACMA (Atelier de Construction de Motocycles et Automobiles = Automobiles and Motorcycles Workshop ). It is unclear if ACMA licenced an existing design or if they asked Vespa to design the car. What's for sure is that the Vespa 400 was only built and sold in France; the company capsized after poor sales (31 000 cars were made), mostly due to the high concurrence from other cars on the market and the comparatively high price of the Vespa 400. It should be noted that a few years before, a company named VELAM (VEhicule Léger A Moteur = Light motorized Vehicle) (Creative people, heh?) licenced the Isetta from Iso, so there is also a French Isetta. Unlike the BMW, the VELAM Isetta sold poorly (figures are hard to find, but Velam made less than 8000 Isetta) and VELAM closed a year after ACMA started production of the 400

Amazing cars, really unique stuff. I love the sound of people talking in the back ground, makes it feel like a great friendly place with people swapping stories with each other.

I like that little Austin Seven, I know someone in Florida with one, it's over 80 years old but still runs like a champ!

That yellow Honda Beat 😍 I love me a good Japanese Kei-car

the Zundapp Janus is a true mid engined car

meep meep. we need em again.

I always enjoyed the episodes that featured weird cars. Love these! Thanks!

I remember Goggomobiles being given away on the old TV quiz shows when I was a kid. Back in the 50s my uncle was a Chrysler-Plymouth dealer and got a Goggomobile dealership. They sent him 2 cars and a nice enameled sign for the front of the building. He sold one car and the second one ended up being used for parts to keep the other one on the road. Later it was pushed into the woods behind the building where it rusted away for decades. The sign was still there when the building was demolished in the mid 80s to build a convenience store. The good old days :)

This was a really fun episode. I wish Speedvision had not gone away.

This video is definitely enjoyable, the host, the car owners, and their cars

2:05 - Trabant 601. Most spreaded car in East Germany before 1989. Two cylinder two stroke engine with 600cc. Famous for the cover of the U2 album "Achtung Baby!" Owned one in 1990. Hated it and do so until today.

Probably all the cars in this show , combined, have a total horsepower output smaller than a Hemi engine

One of your better shows. They are all fun to watch but this one was pretty cool..

i’d love to have a Zündapp Janus one of these days

Made my day ... one day I'll own a Messerschmitt TG500 Tiger be it a replica or an original. Maybe a replica would be even better, I could put a nice modern scooter engine in there. Simply amazing car!

Wauw wauw and again a super wauw!!!!! Put your channel at my favourits! I love these cars more and more! Kind regards, Milco Philips from The Netherlands.

Amazingly, there was a Janus dealer in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1958. It had at least 5 or 6 cars in stock, based on a photo of the building.

Thanks for shairng Denis!

This is one of my favorite episodes. I'd love to drive a micro car. I bet they'd sell if a modern car company put one out today.

This was a really great episode! I enjoyed it very much.

Scootacar! Built 2 miles down the road from me in Hunslet, Leeds.

Aww they didn't talk about the little car at 2:07!

if I had a Janus, I would name it Hugh...

I always thought that all the meserchmiths were three-wheeled I had never seen one of four great video greetings 👍👍👍

Wow! I wanted to visit there. I couldn’t make it. Thanks, heaps!!!

I found my new favorite KZfaq channel

❤ love those tiny cars 🚗 😍

ACMA "Vespa 400" - built in France through the ACMA is never imported in Italy not to obstruct the Fiat with its 500, or rather, the Autobianchi "Bianchina" to which it is very similar. :-)

Great show! !! Thank you

BMW has a patent on the steering column moving when door opens. That's why these other ones don't move.

I wish they went around to ask what kind of MPGs they got on these things. I remember the Izetta growing up and the Animal, but not much else of the others.

13:53 all the strength is in the moustache. you must never cut it!

I've owned lots of sports cares, from Porsche's to Jaguar XKE's, but the funnest one I every owned was an MG Midget. You didn't so much get inside of it as you kind of "put it on". LOL

Oh man, I use to luv watching this show, Trucks, and MotorTrend every Sunday morning on TV. Whatever happen to them?

I saw a Zundapp Janus in 1959 in Kaiserslautern.

Thanks for a GREAT video!

Zundapp, a lemon character from cars2.

I liked FIAT van very much..

My biggest grouse about this episode is that they did not interview the guy with the H-M-Vehicles Free-Way. They talked to the people with the famous German, Italian and British microcars (and a French one; the Vespa 400 was actually built for Vespa in France, beyond the reach of Fiat), but they didn't talk about the microcar from the United States.

Probably a pain in the ass to work on, but the Zundapp's engine placement makes a lot of sense from a handling standpoint, with its engine mounted low in the middle. Then again, it's a German car, so a small sacrifice to serviceability for the sake of performance is expected.

Man that 59 Fiat is well planned out :-)

Pure enjoyment!

The car at 18:50 was 1958 Berkley roadster. They don't have the Rambler Metropolitan, Crosley, or the Freeway.

Even the owner of the Berkeley can't pronounce Berkeley correctly!

Wow, the first Fiat Multipla ever !

The guy at 2:19 is pulling a 3/4 scale motorcycle made by the Ridley Motorcyle Company.

Cool Video! Cool Cars! Love it!

I love them

494ci? you mean 494cc :P Though I would love to see an 8+ liter engine in a Messy XD

They forgot to mention that the Fiat Multipla was build on the chassis of a Fiat 600. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_600#Multipla 8:23 The passenger had the safety of a spare wheel as crumple zone.

It is like Wacky Races of the real world

Does anyone know what that old time looking car is? Best i can describe it! It shown at around 18:50

very nice

I am Tommy at here Indonesia very like ZUNDAAP CAR...because very little and Good...Classical Model and Simple...OK

Nice to see an Austin 7 in the US

494 cubic inches? If that were true it would equal a bigblock v8. More like cubic centimeters . 494 cc> which would be 30 cubic inches.

what is the boat? is it really a wee nautique?

I love it!

What is that little red coupe next to the sunshade?

shame there was no peel p50

4:39, wtf, dont put your feet there, it will damage the paint

One question why no citcar or comuta car as they were actually built there In Florida.

Zündapp. The z is pronounced ts, for ü, form your lips as if to say oo, but your tongue as if to say ee. Janus is pronounced Yanoos. Claudius Dornier, son of Dornier Flugzeugwerke founder Claude Dornier, designed the Dornier Delta, which was the prototype, and even weirder looking than the Janus. Dornier, being an aircraft company, didn't really know what to do with it. So Claudius went looking for a company to build it, just as Zündapp was looking for a design to build as a car. German aircraft companies (Dornier, Messerschmitt, Heinkel) were forbidden from building aircraft after the war, and so were looking at building cars. There were a bunch of other tiny cars you panned past, without talking about, most of which I didn't recognize. Was that really old looking thing an Austin 7? Did I see a Siata Spring? I was expecting to see a Honda 600, U.S. version of Honda's kei car (limited at the time to 360cc in Japan). My Dad had a sedan and my brother had a coupe. I never drove the coupe, but the sedan was an absolute blast to drive.

Where and when is this convention / car show happening next?

I wonder if any one has had the idea to stuff a busa motor in to the Janus. Or a TC88 Harley motor.

I'm upset theres no Martin Stationettes around anymore :(

i dont know why but i find these cars kindah cool, i dont know big cars are kindah dumb in a city anyways, u cant find parkinglots/parking is a bit more difficult and they mostly cost more taxwise too.

does anyone know what the name of the black car at 0:52-0:58 is? please let me know if anyone knows, i really like the car...thanks

Does anyone know the car at 0:35?

Is anyone aware of what the silver one on the left at 0:20 is called? Thank you!

How many models of these goofy little cars were mass produced?
