I could understand every word. His English is excellent. FFS the only languages I speak apart from English are Melanesian Tok Pisin and a smattering of Gupapuyngu which is an Australian aboriginal language and I really SUCK at both of them, particularly the latter. I have a lot of respect for second language English speakers who are a) courageous enough to post a video in a second language and b) able to do it this well. It was an awesome video anyway. Thanks VisioRacer.

that drifting fiat made my day

[@peterburt2905]

Geez, that Messerschmitt KR-175 looks so damned cool with it's red interior and that BF-109 style cockpit canopy. Friggin awesome. That's going to ring a bell with any pilot who sees it.

[@dallatorretdu]

A 500 with the open "Hood" 1:30 usually meant that inside there was an Abarth engine with 50hp

[@BaddaBigBoom]

Yep, lovely car IMO.

[@IndependentBear]

You left out the Berkeley 2-seat roadster, Mine was built in Bedfordshire, U.K. 300 to 400 cu in ram air-cooled motorcycle engine with an in-line motorcycle-type gearbox and electric start. Great little car. Got stopped in mine one day in the late 1950s by a police radar unit in California, not because I was speeding (I probably was) but because they were curious about why it did not register in their radar (fiberglass body). It was a conversation piece everywhere. The two-stroke engine had a dry sump, so a pint of oil was needed with each fill-up (4 gallons). But by stopping in at a truck stop for gas, they never charged me for the little bit of oil compared to what they usually sold. 50 mpg. Top speed about 70 mph. It had one significant weakness. It used a chain drive to the differential with a fiber gear that tended to wear out after a few thousand miles.

[@TheZProtocol]

Fiat 500 drifting?! Niceeeee

[@simoteipel7337]

The 2 CV has a Two Cylinder 4 stroke Boxer engine,not a 2 stroke.But a good video.

[@TheEulerID]

To these you can add the Bond Minicar, with the first model launched in 1949 having a 122 cc two-stroke Villiers engine. That was later upgraded to a 197 cc engine. By the 1958, it had a 248 cc Villiers engine. As it was taxed in the UK as a motorcycle, it had no reverse gear, although later models had the option of being able to run the engine in reverse as it had two sets of contact breakers and a starter that could also start the engine backwards (being a two stroke, there is no valve timing to worry about).

[@joshbacon8241]

Which do you think would be faster in a 100m drag race: a stock 2CV (only 375cc!), or Usain Bolt?

[@arbnorh.910]

bolt :-)

[@9876-j8v]

Bolt. But 400m-2CV

[@Tore_Lund]

The original 2CV used 3L petrol per 100 km. Not a lot of cars can do that today.

[@dagameboy]

Josh Bacon I

[@VisioRacer]

Definitely Bolt, 100 meters is a short distance for such a weak car to reach any high speed. It would be otherwise with a longer sprint as Usain Bolt is not as fast as 2CV's top speed :)

[@jam63112]

The 2cv engine is indestructible as it was built to run at full throttle all the time

[@akronymus]

@ jam63112 true, I proofed this. 2CV never complained about a brick on gas pedal. Still, slowing down to French road speed (90 km/h or slightly above 55 mph), gas mileage did improve dramatically (33 to over 40 mpg).

[@clipsonic4415]

My dad have one before and she run at full speed always and the 2cv overheat so he wait 15 mn and the 2cv restart

[@Guerra2615]

You still see some 2cv on the roads today, thats the proof they are very solid cars

[@oscarzt1652]

even in 1970 honda were making really high revving small engines

[@anomaly2733]

Oscar Thorpe Some things never change :)

[@xalataf3365]

Oscar Thorpe Before VTEC there were engines like one used in the 1974 Honda CB125.

[@alexanderkasady6839]

Oscar Thorpe- What do you mean, "even in the 1970's"? Honda was high-rpm committed from their very first day in production, realizing that higher rpm's were the cheap way to get increased horsepower. My first motorcycle ride, with me driving, was on an early '60's Honda Sport 50. Today's 50-cc motor will get you up to about 30, 35 miles per hour, but that little sucker topped out at 50! There I was, feet on the passenger pegs, laying on top of the gas tank, all tucked in under the paint, no helmet, no goggles, screaming along at 50 mph, and I fell instantly in love! With motorcycles! I think that was the most exciting ride of my life, and I've owned over 30 of them since.

[@nazimelon6653]

Honda MC22 motorbike. The old CBR 250RR. The limiter kicked in at 20500 rpm and the engine in racespec could safely reach 22000. High revving engines are their thing.

[@brucerogermorgan2388]

In 1960 Honda were making high-revving motorcycle engines - the CB72 250cc twin, and the C92 125cc twin both revved to over 8000 RPM.

[@AccAkut1987]

Love it. The museum I work at has basically all of those cars except the Honda in its storage

[@mikethecabbie8476]

I would point out that the Citroen 2CV you showed was a UK example - which were not imported until after the 1973 oil crisis. By this time, they were possessed of a 603cc twin cylinder engine with a heady 29bhp at the right foot, so not strictly within your range. Furthermore, you have omitted the Bond Minicar which was of the same era as Isetta, Messerschmitt, Fulda - and boasted a 197cc motor.

[@bigpapadrew]

the subaru 360 may very well be the cutest car ever made ^_____^

[@timberwolfdtproductions3890]

Some ridiculously interesting cars. I like the Messerschmitt. Must correct you, though; Vespa is not a “major French motorcycle manufacturer”. They don’t make motorcycles at all. They make scooters.

[@smitajky]

When I was young we had the earlier fiat 500 with a 4 cylinder water cooled 4 stroke engine. A "countryman" body with wood panelling and a sunroof. Later I had one of the Bill Buckle sedan Goggomobiles with a 300 cc two stroke and a fibreglass body. The "H pattern" was rotated 90 degrees from most cars ( first forward and left, 2nd forward and right, 3rd backwards and left, 4th backwards and right. A very quick easy to use box. And it was needed in undulating conditions.

[@EinachserLS]

Concerning the Messerschmidt, the KR stands for "Kabinenroller", which literally means "cabine scooter". So even the manufacturer didn´t really consider it to be a car.

[@bwghall1]

I had one back in the early 60s. went through a herd of cows one day, me being lower than the cows The little KR got covered in dung when we emerged the cowman's face was a picture, as we looked like one giant TURD.

[@9876-j8v]

The Z360 looks really cool.

[@benbordeau3142]

I have a z 600 I'm doing a gold wing gl1500 swap looks exactly like the z360

[@EngiNetion]

indeed

[@deltavee2]

I saw a few of these when I lived in Paris from 1956-60. The Messer and the Isetta were common but the grey 2CV was literally everywhere. The 2CV was designed just before WWII and when the Nazis invaded France, the French took the pre-production model apart and buried the pieces, and the plans, all over the place. When the war was over, they dug the car up all over the place, reassembled it and started production. By the mid-50s you couldn't walk a block in Paris without seeing one. Incidentally, the French called the Isetta a "supositoire d'autobus", a bus suppository.

[@akronymus]

I gave away my 2CV last year. All in all a comfortable no-fuzz reliable thing. Rust was an issue, build-quality as well (shared with most cars of this time), but the construction itself was amazing. High mountains mid-winter were not an issue, neither Sahara crossings.

[@LoganLavery]

You have the best accent. Could listen to you all day. Great vid on micro cars, always loved them.

[@wx4newengland]

[@nazimelon6653]

Here is something sad. The 1968 Subaru 360 prduces up to 36 hp and weighs about 500kg which puts it at 72hp/ton i own a 1996 VW Polo 6n 1.05l at the moment, which packs about 45hp, weighing about 1000kg. You see my point?

[@alexanderkasady6839]

Nazimelonhamster- No. What IS your point?

[@Quietbut_Deadly]

No you didn't really explain your point. Are you getting at as time goes by power per displacement increases?

[@nazimelon6653]

a 50 year old, 360cc engine japanese keicar is sportier than my 1996 Polo.

[@alexanderkasady6839]

Nazimelonhamster- What't really sad is all of these 3-wheelers, and with the Peel 50 at the end demonstrating why they should be banned. It reminded me of Honda's 3-wheeled ATVs and why Honda got sued clear out of the 3-wheeler business. Thank God the Suzuki 4-wheelers came along when they did- they saved the ATV business. It's my bet that if micro-cars make a comeback they'll (A.) all have 4 wheels, and (B.) Great Britain won't have any because of their stupid vehicle and licensing laws.

[@Sam-gu6im]

Nice video. My father had the 600cc version of the Honda Z car in bright orange. It was quite something back in the day. You did miss a couple of British offerings though. The Bond 3 wheeler weighing in at 175cc with a claimed 100mpg and the Berkeley 4 wheel sports cars from 322cc upwards.

[@aurimasknieza7320]

Most of those engines and cars are much more economic and powerful than my 49cc 4stroke scooter :D If only I could have one of these lil cute cars

[@allu488]

To be fair, the French and the Italian pronunciation are the same.

[@michaeltowler2632]

My first Car was a second-hand Isetta Bubble car I bought from a Chef from the German Embassy in London who used to get their Meat from our Shop in the early sixties. I lived next to Marylebone Station .and learned to drive in it, had a ton of fun . Mighty engine! One time we went down to Eastbourne and back, me my Mate and with our Girlfriends sitting on our laps.

[@BritanniaMotorcycles]

You missed the Bond three wheel full size car from the UK. It had a 197cc two stroke single Villiers engine which you could kickstart if the electric starter failed. Good video.

[@_chan.burn.21_]

There was also the Trabant P50 that had around a 500cc 2-stroke aircooled inline-twin that made 18hp I believe, and the later P60 and 601 had a 600cc unit that made 23 and 27 horsepower respectively.

Interesting, but 2 errors: The Citroen 2CV has a 4 stroke engine, not 2 stroke - you can see the rocker covers on the engine, 2 stroke engines do not have rocker covers. Also, the Iso Isetta was a 2 stroke, but when BMW built it, they used their own 250cc 4 stroke engine - I know this, as I had the BMW motorcycle that used the same engine - a 1953 R25.

[@ronaldderooij1774]

A good engineering principle is that you do not make anything that does more than its job. This prevents too heavy machines that are too complicated and expensive. In that light, these cars were the best ever built.

I remember back when I was in high school in the mid 70's, a friend of mine had one of those Honda Z's..not a bad little car for their time, but apart from another one that some people down the road from where I lived there were never that many seen here in Australia. the Messerschmitt shown here was the early version, there was the later version with a Sachs engine around 198cc's, called the KR200.. my late father had one he acquired in the early 80's. they also produced a 2 cylinder version called the Tiger 500, extremely rare and valuable these days.they were not built by the Messerschmitt aircraft company as many believe but by another company who used a converted Messerschmitt factory to build their cars in hence the name.

[@robinbaker464]

Don't forget the Berkeley if you can get hold of one! Later models were 328cc 2-stroke twins, both 3-wheeler an 4-wheeler versions, 70mph no prob. Later on a 3-cylinder 492cc version for the 4-wheeler, nicely nippy with all that 2-stroke torque. And finally a 692cc Royal Enfield 4-stroke with 52bhp, with twice the power/weight ratio of the then Mini Cooper! I had one, it remains to this day the most exciting car I've ever driven bar none. and boy, did she handle! Still miss her like mad. Along with my old cat too.

[@alexanderkasady6839]

Robin Baker- One of my school mates in high school (early 1960's) had a Berkeley 500, powered by an Excelsior 2-stroke triple. It had a headrest behind the driver that faired back into an exaggerated tail fin, like a 'D' Type jaguar, only more so. It looked zoomy as hell, sounded zoomy as hell and topped out at, what? 60 miles per hour? (laughing) But, hey, for a couple of 16-year-olds it was neater 'n shit.

[@robinbaker464]

Wow. 60mph... My 328cc 3-wheeler would do a genuine 70. Confirmed by other Berkeley enthusiasts we used to terrorise the streets with! In good tune the three should have topped out around 80. Maybe it was detuned for the market?

[@minimanadam]

That Honda z actually looked nice , I would rock one for sure

[@AdamAdamHDL]

I believe that last 50cc car was built to avoid registration laws. And apparently people were allowed to drive it home drunk.

[@nueziger2691]

It's the other way around. You drive them after being caught driving drunk. In my native Austria such vehicles are still being sold. They are nicknamed "drunkmobiles" No license is required to drive them. The maximum speed is restricted to 40 kmph. The most important clientele for such vehicles are people who lost their license, mostly due to drunkenness at the wheel.

[@dodgydruid]

Peels are still being made in kit form, was sad the Reliant Regal with the 600cc engine didn't make it or the 4 wheeled version the Rebel, the Messerschmitt is a crazy machine to drive and it prompted here in the UK the law that required trailered trucks to have anti-run under bars at back and sides as there was a few squelchings of the tiny car's and owners which just couldn't be seen by the lorry driver. Have always fancied owning a Velorex and the little camper van version of the Fiat 500 has caught my eye on occasion, the featured Subaru I think was a bit of a stab at copying the Beetle but in smaller form. Jeremy Clarkson drove a Peel around the BBC headquarters for Top Gear, right into the lifts and office spaces... very funny it was too /double thumbs up for a great vid on motoring quirks

On the specs for the 2CV on here it says the engine was a 2 stroke. It wasn't...it was a flat twin cylinder 4 stroke.

[@isakjohansson7134]

Isnt the 2cv engine a fourstroke

[@VisioRacer]

It is, it's a mistake!

[@walsc]

2CV means 2-Cylinder V-Motor.

*Walter 72:* _"2CV means 2-Cylinder V-Motor."_ - Nope, it means "Deux Chevaux-Vapeur". Its engine wasn't even a V-twin (or "V-Motor") but a flat-twin: _«The engine was designed by Walter Becchia and Lucien Gerard, with a nod to the classic BMW boxer motorcycle engine. It was an air-cooled, flat-twin, four-stroke, 375 cc engine with pushrod operated overhead valves and a hemispherical combustion chamber. The earliest model developed 9 PS (6.6 kW) DIN (6.5 kW). A 425 cc engine was introduced in 1955, followed in 1968 by a 602 cc one giving 28 bhp (21 kW) at 7000 rpm. With the 602 cc engine, the tax classification of the car changed so that it became a 3CV, but the name remained unchanged. A 435 cc engine was introduced at the same time to replace the 425 cc; the 435 cc engine car was named 2CV 4 while the 602 cc took the name 2CV 6 (a variant in Argentina took the name 3CV).»_ en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Citroën_2CV#Engines On the other hand, there had previously been a "Citroën 5 CV" with a 0.8 L straight-4 engine, and guess what, with five tax horsepower (see "Citroën Type C").

[@tiberiu_nicolae]

Xalataf All the safety features required by law take space and weight the car down

[@anomaly2733]

Xalataf VW Polo, also known as a midget's Golf.

[@alexanderkasady6839]

Xalataf- You're absolutely right. I have a 2003 Mini Cooper, and with its 1600 cc engine it's got plenty of power, more than it really needs. The new Mini is a 3-cylinder 1,000 cc unit with a turbo-charger, slated to put out more horsepower and torque than my 1.6-L. My point is this: any of the micro cars shown in this video would be a viable 'transportation mule' with a modern 600-700 cc power plant, that is, one with 4 valves per chamber with narrow valve angles, a centrally located spark plug, a Twin-Swirl Combustion Chamber, and a turbo-charger. It would have to be liquid-cooled in order to provide cabin heat and defrost. The air conditioning compressor can have its own electric motor to drive it, so it doesn't matter where you mount it, since all you need to run it is an alternator.... And it would produce enough power to be a kick to drive. So long as it would provide year-round comfort and be fun to drive, to say nothing of its minimal exhaust emissions, it'd be a hot seller.

[@alexanderkasady6839]

Tiberiu- It would therefore require a certain relaxation of government safety standards. We absolutely HAVE to free ourselves up from the tyranny of the Chevy Suburban. Way too many people are buying big, dirty gas hog S.U.V.'s because of an over concern with collision safety. If government put an upper displacement limit on car engines (say, 700 cc) and motorcycle engines (360 cc) but allowed unlimited size for electric vehicles then the consumer would have a choice and both would drastically reduce emissions.

With 400 000 subscribers , it’s maybe time for you to hire a professional narrator. Your channel would gain in professionalism. Actors are usually good in narration, and many of them don’t charge much to do so.

"Optional electric engine starter" Imagine this term being used today

That honda look pretty damn sick, i love it

[@terryedgerton7513]

Check out the Lightburn Zeta. A very small car with villiers 325cc (I think) engine. Made in Australia by the Lightburn Cement Mixer company. Not dissimilar to the Goggomobile in structure but very weird looking. Full fibreglass body. Front wheel drive. full independent suspension. Four speed forward and reverse. Engine runs forward or backwards Iowned one myself and loved it but horrendous maintenance costs. 🇦🇺

I love the Messerschmidt! What cars have tandem seating nowadays? looks line a rocket ship!

[@austinmini1275]

The newest car I can think of with tandem seating is the Commuter Cars Tango.

[@kevinbosco5876]

vespa its from italy right

[@austinmini1275]

The parent company is Italian but all Vespa 400s were produced in France.

[@patudujardin7949]

Vespa (piagio) had a deal with Fiat not to make smal cars, so the Vespa 400 was made in France.

You forgot Jeremy Clarkson's P45.

[@SirTragain]

Not a production car.

[@thebozo-m4j]

Hmm I’m not totally sure if that’s a woosh because it would actually be pretty darn cool to have the P45 in the video

[@gazlink1]

P45 is a redundancy note from an employer.

There is one pretty 2CV in my hometown but i didnt know that it had such a small engine

[@metricstormtrooper]

The 9 horsepower quoted for the 2CV was Brake horsepower, not what used to be called Statutory Horsepower.

I love your videos I always learn something new! Are u still going to do highest revving 2 strokes? Keep up the awesome work!!

[@VisioRacer]

Yes, definitely in some time

[@normanabdullah6090]

My Aunty used to own the Subaru 360 and she did mod to gain a bit more of power...Its quite a fuel guzzler although the performance is good for its engine size

[@alexanderkasady6839]

Norman Abdullah- Of course it was- it was a 2-stroke. Put a 4-stroke engine in it of equal size and she would have had a much more fuel efficient engine, especially if it was of a modern design- 4 valves per cylinder, narrow included valve angle, shallow combustion chamber and a turbo-charger. Hootchiemama! She'd soon find out why mounting an engine in the tail is a lousy idea. Install it in the nose, for a front-drive set-up, and we'd have a modern car with strong sales possibilities, especially if it was water-cooled so it would have cabin heat and windshield defrost.

Interesting group of cars. Would like to see some still being made but maybe crash test standards would keep them from being registered.
