A better world with the Peel P50
It was a first-class eco-car, the Peel P50. With its low weight, small dimensions and correspondingly economical fuel consumption, the minimal car from the Isle of Man would have had what it took to solve mankind's mobility problems if they had been satisfied with its minimal comfort and moped-like performance. Today, the little car is making a big splash, as the remaining examples are being auctioned for up to 20 times their original price. This report describes the unusual car and shows it in current and historical pictures.
Back in 1962, Briton Cyril Cannel surprised the public with the world's smallest passenger car, the Peel P50. He followed up the one-person miniature car with a two-person version, which almost looked like a spaceship from the future, but would also have fitted in very well with the Flintstone family's fleet of vehicles. This vehicle report tells the short history of the Peel Trident and shows the miniature car in many pictures, supplemented by photos of its predecessor, the Peel P50.
