Looking at the Heinkel from the 'Danger man' episode .. I found this (..does it apply to this also ..as this film is 1959.?) BeanBandit 2006-01-05 00:37 Heinkel Kabinenroller British version, Trojan 200, was not in production until 1961, so this can't be it. |

It almost looks like a BMW Isetta, but not with those side windows. |

Yes, definitely a Heinkel, probably a late 153 from 1958. |

Shouldn't this be listed as a Trojan then? |

Trojan started to build these bubble cars in 1962, and the movie dates from 1959. So it cannot be a Trojan. Also I'm not sure wether the Trojan still had the big 'H' logo on the door. Since late 1958 the Heinkels were built in Dundalk near Dublin, Ireland (and late 1957 they were built in Argentina). But this one will most probably be a German produced car. |

I wonder how popular these "bubble cars" were back then. Did they take off like the Smart has or not? |

Wasn't the reason, why they had been so popular in the UK, that there was a lower tax on Threewheelers? In Germany these microcars (3 or 4 wheels, it doesn't matter)were real popular, when they had less than 250 ccm. Then you were allowed to drive them with just a moped-drivers-license, which was issued before 1950. So you don't need a car-license. This was the reason, why, after the disapperaring of the microcars, regular cars (mainly NSU Prinz 4, Fiat 126, Fiat 500 and at least even some Lancia Y 10) got 250 ccm-engines (usually modfied Goggomobil-engines, which were built until 1989). It was not a long time ago, I think 1 or 2 years, when this regulation with the pre-1950-license was stopped. So the holders of them (the last survivors, which never made a car-license later on) had only to wait 57 years until they were allowed to drive real cars... |

Also with a clearly visible Heinkel badge is 748 ALF, again with Carmichael (and Sid James) in the unlisted 'Double Bunk' (1960). Looking again at this scene T-T needs to move forward maybe 12" for the Heinkel to run over his toes, yet his body seems not to move in the close-up. -- Last edit: 2016-10-20 21:57:12 |

Irish build was Heinkel Kabine Cruiser [Typ 154], in theory from 1956 but likely late 1957 until 1961. VLO 868 was London, May 58 to Jan 59 "allocated in blocks". |
