Fiat Seicento (appears to be the sport version)
Engine 900 cc (55 cu in) I4 (petrol)

All but the fiat are considered "quadricycles".

" The quadricycle is a European Union vehicle category for four-wheeled microcars, which allows these vehicles to be designed to less stringent requirements when compared to regular cars. Quadricycles are defined by limitations in terms of weight, engine power and speed.

There are two categories of quadricycles: light quadricycles (L6e) and heavy quadricycles (L7e)."

Where’s the Sandero?

 

[Jetronic]

That Musso was sold as a Mercedes Benz in The Phillippines, and likely other parts of Asia. The engine was Mercedes IIRC.

Those would make fine city cars here, but the automakers won't sell them here.

Did you see a Fiat Multipla? Both times I’ve been to Europe I’ve managed to see just one each time. Worth the trip haha I’d love to import one someday.

I've always had a soft spot for anything Citroen. The Jimny is always a favorite,

 

[NibbanaBanana]

Those things would fit inside a Geo Metro with room to spare for 3 passengers.

 

[fantastic]

When 12" wheels look big.
Very neat to see what is out there & thanks for posting these.

The Sandero doesn't look weird enough for me to photograph haha.

The quadricycles would make great contenders for golf cart communities. I personally would like to have a Citroen Ami.

I thought I was the only weirdo that would import one. Yes, I saw a few, but none were parked, so no photo ops with me laying on the hood.

Ever since Jeremy Clarkson roasted it as one of the ugliest cars ever, I knew I had to have one lol.
