Red Car

Just nipped into the museum to take a quick photo of this most unusual car.
The Heinkel Bubble Car was built under licence by Dundalk Engineering Company
for a short period from 1958. To see one out on the road go to:

Cute motor :) But, err, can't quite see it... is that a "no photos" sign on the door in the background? ;-O

Nice - and I thought it was an Isetta.

I can imagine this car would not do to well in a collision with a truck

What I wonder, happens if you stick a pin in it ? :>))

Great. That brings back memories. Remember those days, when we had cars with names like 'Goggomobil' or 'Kabinenroller' on the streets here in Germany.

I saw one of these at a vintage rally recently. The guy had just enough room for himself and his accordian! Cool shot.

Three wheeler bet it turns on a dime... I want one.. Great find!!

How cool! It doesn't look too far off from some of the smart cars today! Nice find :)

It would be great if we had more of those on the roads.....1958 was too early for a car this small or this modern. I think it would do well on the market today!

I meant.. in my book! LOL

My godmother had one of those when I was a child! It was weird the way the front door opened.
