Discover the Charm of the 1996 Daihatsu Midget!, The original Daihatsu Midget was a kei-car – a Japanese subgenre of cars with engines smaller than 700cc. It was originally a 3-wheeler. It looked similar to a Thai tuk-tuk and was designed as a simple, affordable small delivery vehicle., In 1993 Daihatsu showed the concept Midget II at the Tokyo Motorshow and the model was released to the general public in 1996, now with two (yes two!) headlights and four (!) wheels., Although a significant reimagining of the original vehicle, the concept of light weight and small dimensions in a charming body was retained. The three-cylinder 660cc 4-speed naturally aspirated engine is tucked away under the seat keeping the whole unit about as compact as a pickup can get. The Midget II is just under 2.9 metres in length, a mere 1.3 metres wide and weighs around 570kg., What we have here is one of the first generation of the Midget II in quite extraordinary condition and with ultra-low mileage. In metallic turquoise (officially topaz) and a grey interior with the original black and white Midget II floor mat, it is quite eye-catching., The bug-eye headlights framing the spare wheel beneath the windscreen, the single-seat cab and open rear bed give this a kerb appeal that is quite disproportionate to its size. Despite its compact nature, however, there is plenty of room in the cab., I picture this being used by a small business with big ideas. Imagine the marketing value of delivering your goods or arriving to provide a service in a vehicle as charming, lovable and rare as this. Or maybe you could add it to your collection of interesting cars and make a bit of a splash when you pull up in your local supermarket. , This car is due to arrive around mid-January.
