I would love a Tiger but there is no way I could afford one of them.
John's car looks as if it is a cross between the Messerschmitt kr200 and the BMW.

Re: Just for Heinkeljb
Heinkel’s are a slightly different shape to BMW Isetta’s. Other than the fact they both have a front opening door and most where 3 wheelers (they made 4wheeler versions of both vehicles). The Heinkel is lighter than the BMW as that has a separate chassis.
BMW Isetta’s has the steering wheel fixed to the door and using a couple of UJ’s the steering wheel lifted up out of the way with door. In a Heinkel you have slide in behind the steering wheel.
BMW started with a 250cc fourstroke engine. The Heinkel 174cc! Similar top speeds!

Re: Just for Heinkeljb
Now try and find one of Heinkel and not a Trojan....
Although basically the same vehicle, there are differences.

Re: Just for Heinkeljb
I assume the Trojan was made under licence from Heinkel.
What I find amazing with all these bubble cars is that even with their small engines they still manage to have similar onroad performance as a standard Haflinger with its much larger 650cc engine. I guess is its heavier weight and power drain having to push the front drive system.

Re: Just for Heinkeljb
Heinkel sold the manufacturing rights to the Irish ( they were hoping to become Global car manufactures) and the chose the Heinkel to do it with... Anyway, the Heinkel-Ireland as it became known was made in Dandaulk for a couple of years until the manufacturing line was sold to Trojan, who renamed it the Trojan 200.
On road performance is down to several things, power (original Heinkel had 174cc / 9bhp - later ones had 198cc / 10bhp), aerodynamics and weight - ~300kg. Gearing also has a bearing on top speed!
