That’s a rather attractive design, I have to say.

I’m not sure whether they are exactly the same, but Biro has become quite popular in Amsterdam and other European cities, mostly because you can park them anywhere - which is basically impossible for regular cars - and because you don’t need a proper license. Not cheap, though: €15,000.- which is about Toyota Yaris /…

It’s an interesting edge case, but going by that article, I’d say it’s not a unibody.

BL knew how to ruin a good nose:

I may now have a new platonic ideal of a car. Thank you.

But if the body was mounted on a chassis, it couldn’t have been a unibody, could it?

That must be the first time in history that an Opel Kadett has had anything whatsoever to do with eroticism.

Depends on what drainage system has been specified.

That Cadillac is righteous, exactly as it sits.

I wonder whether they also warmed up a bit quicker than 4 strokes of the same era?

I was thinking that this is a bit like Messrs Panhard & Levassor playing a wax cylinder of horse fart noises on the back of their 1895 contraption.

Peak ponton- and it’s one of the first cars in that style.

Nope. Every major brand in Yurpland used to have them, but I can’t think of a single one. I guess they survived for a bit because their near identical unglazed panel van versions were quite popular with trades folk, but once they switched to micro / mini vans, that was it.

I was wondering: it seems to be a Opel P2 Rekord Caravan, 1960 - 63.

Which is perfectly understandable, because early Saabs were also cribbed straight from DKW designs. Technically, Wartburg and 2 stroke Saabs are siblings, and close ones at that.

But what is Snørdglen doing in a Dutch car, and what are invited to compare?

Wartburgs are direct descendants of DKW designs.

Well, semi-trailing swing arms = German

That Micron Monocar sounds fascinating.

So much bonnet, so little windscreen.
