This weeks weird Car of the Week is the BMW Isetta
The BMW Isetta bubblecar had it origins in Italy where a company known as ISO, who previously made scooters, started to produce a micro car in 1953 based around their scooter motor. Originally intended to be a 3 wheeler there were 4 wheels altogether with the rear wheels spaced close together. Entry to the car was via a single door that was hinged at the front. The steering wheel swung out with the door to provide access to the bench seat that could seat 2 people. A parcel shelf was directly behind the seat with their spare wheel and tiny 236 cc engine below the shelf. |

This weeks weird car of the week is the Chery QQ from China
The Chery resemblence to the Daewoo Maitz is more than just a coincidence, rumor has it that the makers of the Chery QQ hired some of Daewoos staff between the time of Daewoo's Colapse and Dawoo being bought out by GM. GM have since tried to stop Chery making the QQ, but Chinese copyright laws say there is no problem with the QQ being sold in China where it outsells the Maitz 4 to 1. There was never a patent applied for the Maitz in China.
