Maresia possibly? |

How ingenious - it can park in a gap about as wide as a cornflake packet. But then you can't open the doors. Reminds me of a UK supermarket offer some years back when you gradually got tokens which you could exchange for elegant saucepans. I saved all my tokens to get a nice big casserole dish. When it arrived there were big stickers warning that the plastic handles were not ovenproof. |

This is the second car made by some Mr Rombouts from Waalwijk in the South of the Netherlands. The first car was built in 1961, a very narrow convertible with a Heinkel scooter engine. It had to be extremely narrow because Mr Rombouts wanted to park his car inside, but he didn't have a garage; the narrow car just could get through the normal door... In the 70s he decided that he wanted to have a closed car. So he built this Maresia on themechenics of a Fiat 600 and with some parts of a Mini. But oh dear, when he was ready he found out that the rear was too wide to get out of the house (because the radiator is built next to the engine and gearbox)  Then he made a small extra door next to the normal entrance of his house.In 1993 both cars still existed... The first Rombouts: ![[Image: rombouts1.2017.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is820/rombouts1.2017.jpg) And the second one: ![[Image: rombouts2.4279.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is191/rombouts2.4279.jpg) (from Jan Lammerse's book "Autodesign in Nederland") |

That's a classic. The most depressing item from that program is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tsygx1Tlhec This couple speaks ""English"" to each other, so that their poor father wouldn't be able to understand what they're saying...  |

Like in one XIX century novel.  Nasty and somehow snobbish. |
