Yessir that's right come up and see-lect your micro car! Each one of these fine auto-mo-biles blurs the line between golf cart and actual car. I found an ad containing five micro-cars for sale near Toronto, Canada and I called the seller to find out how on earth this happened. Apparently he owns 40 of these little buggers and has decided to sell 5 of them. (It's a strong possibility that he's not married)

I call dibs on the KV Mini 1 because I've always loved those boxy French contraptions. W hich one is your favorite?

Cool. I've met Mario, the guy selling these. He's a big collector of microcar-based trucks and his collection is featured in this book:

That French KV-1 he's selling has the greatest drivetrain set up ever. The engine turns these rollers which use friction to make the wheels go 'round. It's nuts.

I'm not in Canada, no, but he shows up at all the big microcar gatherings. It used to be a much smaller community before the world discovered cute cars.

KV's are hilarious to drive. The whole thing rattles like you're in a shed in a hurricane and if the wheels get too wet, you lose all forward motion because the rollers can't get traction. I think one won the Concourse De Lemons a few years ago.
