Wow, what did they come with? Actually, bacon. 360. See. Hence the designation. 360 was a 360. It was a little optimistic with 25 horsepower, but it didn't really work. 25.

Malcolm Bricklin imported them and that was the beginning of Subaru America, really, yes, really, but you've also done a lot on this interior because they didn't come with this interior, these are really cool seats, actually these seats are from a Dodge minivan , we would have to cut it, no.

, this is a bubble, it's a total bubble, that helps. Well, plexiglass, the windshield is glass with all the other glass in the car in an attempt to lighten it, uh, Heinkel made it all out of plexiglass, so it's a Heinkel, it's a piece of what year 58, do you know how many years did they make these? I think they were in Germany for three or four years and went briefly to Ireland, unsuccessfully, at a surprise price, and then on to the UK, where they were manufactured and branded as Trojans.
Oh, okay, you can see it still has this little European center, yeah. Yes, so can we open it? It opens much like a good setup, except the steering wheel is stationary and stays put. I know why because I said, of course, that comes with the door that Isetta had a patent behind. Oh, so instead of infringing on that patent, they came up with something with a stationary steering wheel and Colin, what's the transmission? The scooter guy was called Taurus Bob and they have a similar transmission that's right there, this one shifts right on the side, like a Messerschmitt does.
The other thing I notice about this is almost like it has its own rolling box, well that's the The idea was Huncle, aircraft manufacturer's idea, so he's going to take their design concept and roll that steel like he did for a plane, so it's laminated steel and it really becomes a sexuality, which makes it provide a structural rigidity that is nice and correct, what a good entry. it's a two seater and a cushion whose tree was marketed as a family car, a very small family car, yes keep in mind they were trying to get minimal and cheap transportation, get people off their scooters properly and in a bubble and in something.
