Champion 500G and 400. There aren’t many micro cars I want to own but Champion 400 is one of them.
Here are some specs for the early 400 model. Later when Champion changed from ILO to 1-2hp more powerful Heinkel engines the name was changed to 400H. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

I love these as well. Later made by Maico, of course. This is a couple I photographed at the old microcar museum in Störy, Germany. You can see one of the really early ones back there with the bicycle wheels.

Because of the rarity and price I wonder how feasible it would be to build a replica on shortened and narrowed VW bug chassis.
Especially the pastel colored 400’s remind me of Nissan Figaro although the roof and front end are different and the Figaro design is said be inspired by Autobianchi Bianchina.
