No reverse, also, if you have a biker behind you, you might kill them from all that smoke, also the engine might fit, but it such a racket. Just because it's the smallest doesn't mean it's the best, might to you.

According to the name, you can say it is a bad car. Peel means the car peels and P50 means it pees oil 50 times a day. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Actually, it comes from Peel, Isle of Man which is where i live, 1962-1965 it was produced, only 50 were produced hence The Peel P50.

Designed as a city car, it was advertised as capable of seating "one adult and a shopping bag." The vehicle's only door was on its left side, and equipment included a single windscreen wiper and only one headlight. Standard colours were Daytona White, Dragon Red and Dark Blue.

At 54 in (1,372 mm) long and 41 in (1,041 mm) wide and with an unladen weight of 59 kilograms (130 lb), the P50 holds the record as the smallest ever to go into production.

The P50 used a 49 cc (3.0 cu in) DKW engine which gave it a top speed of approximately 61 kilometres per hour (38 mph), and was equipped with a three-speed manual transmission that had no reverse gear. Consequently, turning in a confined area could only be achieved by pushing, or lifting the car using the handle on the rear and physically pulling it round. The makers and users claim fuel consumption of 100 mpg-imp (2.8 L/100 km; 83 mpg-US).

At least one prototype, the Peel P55 Saloon Scooter, has also survived. Unlike the production Peel P50 (along with all developments and replicas thereof), this prototype used the less stable layout of a single wheel at the front and two at the back. Approximately 50 Peel P50s were sold at

The first Rover looks like a 2006 car. Is it?

yes but unfortunately, like other British car industries, the company has gone to pot and so are the others because they are constantly strangled by Ford, BMW, GM etc... not only that the financial crises and the lack of designs, production and concepts are also stabbing them in the back :(
