A Kombi left out in the rain (marketed here as a VOLKSWAGEN station wagon). When traditional Detroit Iron ruled the roads, the little Kombi caught on. From the BIG THREE'S knockoff iterations (Chevrolet Greenbrier Sportwagon, Ford Econoline and something from Dodge I can't properly recall) you have today's variations, worldwide!
I saw the first gen civic and just OH MY GOD THIS IS INSANE immediately flew through my head I've only ever seen one in my life and even though it was modded I loved the hell out of it.
A lot are not even small enough to be listed as mini cars. The 2CV is definitely small, which is larger than mini size. Just have to remember that some people just do not understand basic sizes.
Thank you for this comment. I found one of these vehicles almost something like a barn find. A lady is selling probably over 50 classic cars all the way from the 40s to the '70s. I believe they were all her dad's and I assume her dad passed away. Anyways she has one of these and I asked her about it,she said she doesn't know much about it but that it's called a nue pinz, well she believes so anyways. She said she'll take $1,200 for it and it comes with another complete donor car. I could not find any information on this vehicle. Also do you think 1200 bucks is worth it? I'm thinking so. I'm just worried about how hard it's going to be to actually restore even though it's in fairly decent shape. if there's anything else you can tell me or any advice I would highly appreciate it. Sorry for the unnecessary long comment.
@@adamzaidi1748 I have a 1959 NSU Prinz in Australia. I had some universal joints actually made up for me today. Other parts I have ordered from Germany.
Good to see so many micro cars in one place. Has anyone have any idea what the car is at 4:36 ? I thought it might be a 'Clan' sport car but the headlights seem wrong...?
Arg, no a Fiat 850 saloon. I had one as my second car, after a 126 (well, mine was built in Spain so strictly it should be a SEAT 850 but it had all the correct, original Fiat trim and badging so it was a Fiat, just built in Spain.) It was an experience to drive, and not in a good way but once you got used to it (after scaring myself silly on MANY occasions) it was OK, unless I wanted to leave the town were I lived in which case you could absolutely guarantee, whatever way I went, it would overheat when I got to the sign marking the edge of the borough. It was torture to work on and the electrics were, well, Italian to say the least. I was glad to see the back of that one, replaced by a DAF 33, the previous owner had spent a shed load of money having the bodywork sorted and a nice paint job put on it, presumably to realise only then that the rest of the car was a horror story. The good looks only lasted as long as it took some knuckle head to to scrape down the entire side of the car in a supermarket car park which started an avalanche of paint, primer and primer filler falling off the car which continued until I got shot of it. I was pleased to see that the metal under the paint was extremely rust free but it was incredibly wavy, not from previous damage, just from lousy build quality, even British Leyland would have rejected this one it was so bad. Fortunately I don't think my car still exists, I sold it to someone who was planning on parting it out for his 850 spider and saloon projects. But if you happen to see a burgundy Fiat 850 saloon with a black interior wearing the registration ROR 696M around or for sale, don't walk away... RUN... Very pretty little cars and I love seeing them, but I'd never buy another one, too many bad memories of being on the side of the road with the bonnet and boot up waiting for the little bastard to cool down AGAIN, and electrics that were, literally, hair-raising...
gosportjamie Believe it or not, the 850 actually runs way cool now, even doing 50mph on the freeway it only ever gets up to 180°. It had tons of overheating issues when I bought it though... the radiator was also 50% plugged.
+linglingjr I never found out what was wrong with mine, the radiator was fine having just been rebuilt by a local specialist with an excellent reputation, the water pump was fine and seemed to be a recently fitted good quality replacement, I fitted several new thermostats that never made any difference and back flushing the cooling system never produced any muck or debris so if the cooling system was plugged up it was REALLY plugged up. Personally I just think that damn car didn't like me...
The HILL is part of the microcar challenge.. NO crybabies here! roughly a mile or two , 15% grade , no shoulder and curvy . some of the little cars have a really hard time, most microcars have non synchronized 1st gear. So, 1st gear the whole way revved to max . Quite fun
Apart from the really small engine, the Citroën 2CV is not so micro at all. Had it been available in some higher displacement such as 0.8L, it could fare even better as a serious contender to the Beetle.
Idk why any of these don't have a hatch Fin rear back design , why do these rear windows need to face the sky? , Plus could put a brake light on the fin, So trucks won't rear end you
Your definition micro car is wrong! A micro car is a car meant to take two or three people, not a small car for four people like the minor or the Fiat series 500-600-850
I love the DKW! Gorgeous car!
A great display of Microcars! So enjoyable Thanks!
I want that little VW camper. That is hilarious!
Me too!

20th century: in the future we’ll have flying cars!
21st century: Power Wheels.
Beautiful collection of dream cars. What a jamboree.✔🍻
That go cart VW Bus is hilarious
Great video Thanks for posting😊
Having just enjoyed your latest video this one automatically followed. Great to have another look here too!
I love this video and I am so jealous of all you lucky owners.
wow, that tiny beetle wagon runs pretty fast. love tiny cars
Heinkel made scooters as well as Bubble cars so they called the Bubble a Cabin scooter in German, hence Kabinroller.
purple mini truck....sweet
Don't be surprised if George Jetson shows up. Enjoyed the video. Thanks.
That's the beauty of microcars, you can fit 300 of them into a space usually occupied by 50 normal vehicles.
Strange car event when a Saab Sonnet looks huge.
I have said it before, you are a lucky man, thanks for the videos.... ;-}
and, you have great friends,..........!
birds of a feather flock together
A little Honda with a big car horn, gotta love it.
I love all of this mini cars
beautiful time ,, when it is ok to sneeze front everyone ))
I saw the first gen civic and just OH MY GOD THIS IS INSANE immediately flew through my head
I've only ever seen one in my life and even though it was modded I loved the hell out of it.
Never seen a Civic in the video. Maybe you mean that small Honda Z?
Great cars .
Quite an assortment of micro minis, even a yellow '58 Berkeley!!!
Wow! A huge turn out.
I certainly would enjoy happening upon such a gathering of little cars.
Kudos to those driving the neat, tiny little cars! Neat to see and hear, but couldn't drive one. My Chevy Astro is as small as I'll go.
5:04 the red one on the left is a Fiat 850.
Like the lite blue car with white walls.
Im glad i got Zastava 850
So cool! What an amazing event! (No old Saab’s?) I know not a micro car.
Only a couple of those are micro cars. The rest are European and Japanese small cars from the 60s.
A lot are not even small enough to be listed as mini cars. The 2CV is definitely small, which is larger than mini size. Just have to remember that some people just do not understand basic sizes.
So cool
Half of these microcars were just called cars in my youth
I learned to drive in the wee Honda
And a Fiat 500. And owned a 2CV and mini….just cars.
can all these be driven at the age of 16 or lower in Europe?
Elias Van Loon probably not, although some of them could probably qualify as a vsp in France. BTW Europe is not a country.
3:12 What is that car!? I feel like I used to know what it was
Love Micro Cars. Have a Messerschmitt KR200 & Bond Minicar Mk D.
Would like to join in but I'm in South Africa, just a "short " drive away.
Is the blue van a Subaru 360?
2:27 If I'm not mistaken, that's a Prinz I isn't it?
I love the colour
NSU Prinz, aus NeckarSUlm - Deutschland.
Thank you for this comment. I found one of these vehicles almost something like a barn find. A lady is selling probably over 50 classic cars all the way from the 40s to the '70s.

Yes sir ! Fathers day weekend every year.

muy bueno !
Where did this event take place?
Forest Grove Oregon annually 17 years now
how steep and long is the hill?
The HILL is part of the microcar challenge.. NO crybabies here! roughly a mile or two , 15% grade , no shoulder and curvy . some of the little cars have a really hard time, most microcars have non synchronized 1st gear. So, 1st gear the whole way revved to max . Quite fun
Mr.Black is so cool.
Tons of cars ? Maybe two tons, They are small heehh.
I searched everywhere online for the Chinese "small water car " but no results, can anyone tell me more please?
4:53 The best is the Fiat 600
I’m just expecting to see a Peel P50 to show up
What’s the car at 4:31? Thanks
mccalebtv DKW 1000s
打脸了 啪啪的 😂
Minis are disqualified, they are real cars, just a bit smaller than most
…but yeah - don't forget me LLOYD
lloyd400pointde 🖖 Greetings 🖖

Why we have so many SUVs on our streets? Microcars are so much cooler :-).
To the pretty redhead: "BLESS YOU!" "BLESS YOU!"
Why there are Fiat too? For the Italians like me it isn't microcar
A lot of the cars featured are not actually micro cars.
Idk why any of these don't have a hatch Fin rear back design , why do these rear windows need to face the sky? , Plus could put a brake light on the fin, So trucks won't rear end you
is my Peugeot 205 already a microcar?
Here's a 1/2 size Ferrari 250 I made for my daughters : ruclips.net/video/Az00c0A7hVU/видео.html
