Would I own a vintage microcar? And which one??
Yes. And Lunar Rover.

Still the most expensive car made on earth, and very low mileage.
And to think, it was the low bid.
Low bid was an electric scooter.

I want an MG Midget with one of those V8’s made from siameseing two Suzuki Hayabusa engines.
But they’re like 998cc standard, that’s practically a cadillac..
And dozens of horsepower in some cases, like plural.
“Vintage” is 1919 to 1930, which disqualifies the vast majority of microcars, but not the Custer Car:

Or the Magnet Car.
Berkeley SE492, without question.

I’ve always liked the Champion, but then I like the look of Borgward Rennwagens and Audi TT mk1s. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/60bec755f4ac04e3ac183a60b75e27f3b3a2053828076c083f2956c2fcbcaf33.jpg
And you still look less ridiculous than behind the wheel of a TT
True, and probably easier to work on.
Meesa no like
Surely a replica?
