The worlds smallest production car was built by PEC-The Peel Engineering Company, on The Isle Of Man between 1962 and 1965. The Peel Engineering Company were originally makers of fibre-glass fairings and small boats when they turned their skills into car production.
It was called the Peel P50 and first retailed for £150 to 200. It is the only car ever manufactured on the Isle of Man.
t was 4ft 5in long, 3ft 3in wide and 3ft 5in high and weighed of 131 Lb, not including the driver ! the top speed was 38 to 40 mph with the wind behind you, driving on 5 inch wide Avon Kart wheels and tyres.
The car had normal pedals to brake , accelerate and change gear but with no starter motor on the ignition a cranking lever was provided to start the engine. The Peel had a column shift quadrant gear selector. There was a complete absence of instruments, there was not even a speedometer due to the fact that the car would never go fast enough to exceed any road speed limits, hence it was deemed unnecessary.
It was powered by a small single cylinder
A Moped engine that produced a maximum power output of 4.2bhp @ 6,600rpm. The fuel consumption was claimed to be around 70 miles per gallon.
IN MY OPINION ITS BETTER THAN THE CARS WHICH WASTE LOTS OF OIL!!!!.
