I am offering what is surely the only example of this car in existence. I am not sure where it was manufactured and I have been unable to find ANY information on this veritably unique all-aluminum micro car. It has a small engine that looks to be a motorcycle motor possibly an Ariel certainly from 1951 and strangely also has a bike pedaling mechanism in the cockpit possibly to get it rolling so that the clutch can be popped to start the motor. I imported this car from Faro, Portugal and has arrived in Miami this week and is now being offered for sale from the convenience of south Florida. ONE OF A KIND!!!




The Rapida, engine and all components have been professionallywrapped and ready for delivery from South Florida
