martc Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 This is a 1981 Seab Flipper. Seab was also behind the creation of the Mehari and produced the Mehari bodywork for Citroën. Like the Mehari the Flipper has an ABS plastic body. There is a Sachs 47cc engine, with two automatic speeds and the front axle rotates approx 180 degree for maneuverability. Needless to say it falls into the sans-permit classification. Austat, High Jetter, MiniMinorMk3 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It developed 68hp and could do 165 km/h. Very decadent. Just found out that there is a Melkus RS2000 too.

I once had a passenger ride in a Sonnet III as above though, with the Ford-sourced V4. It was at Grampian Transport Museum up in Alford, Aberdeenshire.
