Car Club of the Month - R.U.M Cars

We here at the Microcar and Minicar Club have had a long running relationship with the Register of Unusual Microcars in the UK. It is a fine club and within the pages of it's club mag it hosts pages from a number of other smaller clubs. They always have interesting features and updates in microcar news. Take a look -

small sado sale (Microcars For Sale)

This tiny Sado 550 made in Portugal was for sale on a site that has quite a few mini and microcars. If you look around on the internet there are other sites besides ebay that feature interesting cars. In 1975 a group of engineers started "Projecto Ximba" to produce a micro subcompact. Several prototypes were made and in 1982 the Sado 550 started production. About 500 vehicles were produced.

Hey, Is that a Clown Car?

Most of us that drive microcars have heard an expression like that at one time or another. Although we know that we are driving important historic vehicles, our passengers might not get the picture. Convincing your significant other or date that you are not driving a clown car, is sometimes not so easy. So I suggest leaving the big red nose at home.

"Midget Car" from 1938

Popular Mechanics and similar magazines always had little items about homemade cars and the like. They usually called them "Midget Cars" or "Baby Cars". The clever folks that made some of these homebuilt vehicles had real imagination.

Tiny Trucks

Over the last 15 years in "The Micocar and Minicar Club" we have devoted a good number of pages in our award winning magazine "Minutia" to tiny trucks. Personally I always liked the small van vehicles like the Subaru or the Fiat Family. Who doesn't need a box on wheels once in awhile. If you would like to see a good variety go to
