Smart Car too big for you? Too much of a road hog? Gas guzzler? What you need is a real “microcar,” like a Peel Trident or a Peel P50. These strange little cars were made by Peel Engineering, on the Isle of Man, in the 1960s — most ran on a 50cc (49cc, actually) moped engine and on three very tiny wheels. Andy Carter’s Peel Microcars site has a great gallery of these munchkin-worthy vehicles.
