The Peel P50 first appeared in the 60's and has been made famous from Top Gear and Forza.

It is a three-wheeler microcar, production was from 1962 to 1965 by the Peel Engineering Company on the Isle of Man.

It's featured in the 2010 Guinness World Records as the smallest production ever.

The early ones featured a 49cc engine which develops 4.2bhp this was then coupled to a 3-speed manual, the Trident followed on, there are also some of those in the video too.

Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear drove one thorugh the BBC offices, yes it's narrow enough to drive through an office.

They were £199 when first launched.

The P50 was relaunched by the company now in England in 2010, this is a vehicle that is allowed to travel on UK roads.

These fine examples were on show at the NEC Classic Car Show.
