The original 1960s Ami is so much more interestingGet the new Citroen Ami all electric vehicle for under £6000. 45 miles range, 28mph and rechargeable in 3 hours at home.
'Bubble cars' always remind me of Blackpool and Morecambe promenades in the 1960's/early 1970's.Like @KnittyNorah there was one in our neighborhood when I was small. Its appearance always caused a lot of excitement and cries of "Bubble car!"
Thinking about the safety aspect of these cars, they are quite dangerous. No seat belt, no 'crumple zone', no head rest and no roll bars on the cabriolets I notice.
Also, according to this video, they chew up rear tyres and 'the gas' evaporates before you can burn it up/off.
No fuel gauge either, so I suppose you'd have to fill it up before a long(ish) journey or carry a Full Jerry can
At around 30 grand for a very good condition one I'd say you had to have a million in the bank to comfortably buy and maintain one. Think about it, 30 thousand to buy then the insurance, maintenance etc out of a thousand thousand is a fair chunk. 🤔
Yes, but I bet you didn't pay 30 grand for it and/or have a false sense of safety/security when riding it.My bike doesn't score very highly in the NCAP tests but I still use it.
Parking one in Tesco is rather difficult - the bays are quite small width ways!Prefer a me109 though
Whilst I can certainly see the appeal they are rather expensive these days.
How about a modern Morgan 3 wheeler instead? Same money, but new or newish, and likely faster and nearly as daft
