I thought it was only in Russia. Apparently not. These guys have clearly outdone the locals with the car "Oka" ))

I am not familiar with the brand of this car, but I can assume that it is of English manufacture.

I dated a guy in college who was 6'6" and 250 lbs., all muscle. He drove a teeny little Ford Fiesta. That's just about what he looked like in it.

At one time, these were produced here. However, it was impossible to buy them at that time, they were issued exclusively to disabled people who either had problems with the musculoskeletal system or had no legs. The car was given free of charge for 5 years, then the state took it back and sent it to a repair plant, and the disabled person received either another one, or the same one after a major overhaul.

The car had only two seats, and the engine was located not in the front, but in the back.

The same solution for the engine was used on larger cars from another plant, but they already had a back seat, though without doors. To get inside, you had to throw the seat back. These cars were already available for purchase (or sale).

The next model had "ears", side air intakes through which the engine, still located at the rear, was cooled.

My grandfather had a red car like this with ears, and he drove it for almost 30 years. After the war, my grandfather had a problem with his leg, and the car had manual control, all the control pedals were located on the steering wheel.

Fiat 600, which was their foreign prototype
