Description
Cars of my memory :the BM021A tricycle van.Maybe they can not be classified as "car",but they are the ubiquitous vehicle from late 1970s to early 1990s. Like the Piaggio Ape,they took the role of light pickup truck very well,and were widely used by post offices and home businesses.Their 750cc 4-cylinder engine has enough power to haul quite a lot of cargo at a moderate speed.Their small size enable them to shuttle through narrow streets.They also had a passager version which can transport 4 passager plus one driver.But they lack safety feature,and tend to rollover when making sharp turn.They went totally extinction in the mid 1990's.Related content

hi are you Indian or Paki? because i have seen these cars only there in india and pakistan..?

No,I am neither Indian or Paki.Many countries have used this kind of tricycles,such as Italy,Germany,Japan,Thailand,and many other Asian countries,of course include India and Pakistan.The Italian Piaggio Ape (Bee) is very famous,as well as the German Goliath,the Japanese Daihatsu Midget.But as time goes on,they become obsolete and rare in European countries and Japan.Now they have become an iconic vehicle of the Asian developing countries.

Oh my dear, I'm old!!!!!!
I was 21 year old, I've had just finished my compulsory military service, looking for a better job, I worked as blacksmith, so I can argue I'm a kind of homo faber
It was fine, I love to love with hands, it leave your mind free to run, more over I love to mend and bring back the old rusted object

Ah,yes,Homo faber is exactly the right word!
I like manual labor too,only if it does not take too much time.

Sorry, I didn't realize it was just an italian pun, because in italian blacksmith is translated Fabbro, from the latin Faber

You don't have to say sorry,my friend
It's me who ruin your funny pun,because I can only read very little Italian,and think that "Homo faber" means working man.

I always wanted to drive one of those things, but it's a shame they don't exist in my country.

Thanks for comment and fav,I am so happy that you like it. It must be amazing to drive one of those things.
They are one of my favorite vehicle since my childhood,but as I had said,they were extinct in my country .
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, I liked it.
But here in Brazil they never existed at all. The things that may come close are some cars made by Gurgel, a Brazilian manufacturer. The original Gurgel was extinct in the early 90's, but it was reopen by another guy in the 2000's as a manufacturer of agricultural tricycles. Original Gurgel cars are rarely seen today, but they still exist.

Thanks a lot for the informative reply,previous I only knowed that Brazil produce Volkswagen cars.
I searched the net for Gurgel,and found it to be a unique minicar,and also had an offroad version!
