Has it got braided rope as a door?

Rather ironic given the Citroen Ami that did toppleover (which I guess was your point )

It’s a copy of the old Fiat ‘Jolly’. We used to sell a few when I was at Landmark, mainly as baguette or ‘estate’ cars. You felt more vulnerable in them than on a motorbike.
Had a varied clientele for those - I sold one to a (European) Royal, one to an Asian dictator to get around his 500+ car collection and another to one of the most significant members of the motor industry.

I can’t imagine many being used as proper vehicles, but more like a modern version of a golf cart to get around your estate.

I don’t want one, but I don’t hate it either

There was a vid of Lando Norris floating around in one in Monaco recently (nightclub access rope and all).

Never seen one with weather equipment

Could only really be Piech with your description!

I also think they’d win some award for travelling the most miles without the wheels turning -
We used to buy them in South Italy, they’d then go on covered transporter to Maranello to be transferred onto a UK Ferrari delivery transporter to us, then once sold I’d ship them wherever they’d go. Piech would have been the closest, but others went to the South of France and Monaco, Greece, or on planes to New York and Malaysia.

The average wealth of the buyer of these little 500s, our cheapest car in the showroom, was £billions. Almost exclusively purchased with an Amex or cash from the driver’s briefcase…
