If the engine pic hadn't been included I don't think I would have believed 49cc

That'll probably be a Mobylette-based engine - in road tune they don't make much more than 4bhp (the engine in mine is 3.5).  You can tune them to a lot more, but then they become peaky as f*ck and thus completely useless for powering something as heavy as that Ligier.

That's what I thought. So, with two people in I'm assuming you'd have to plan your journeys carefully, no steep inclines?

I wouldn't fancy climbing the Alpe d'Huez two-up, but those 50cc microcars were so comically low-geared that they will manage a reasonable incline before grinding to a halt.  The flip side of course being that at 6,000rpm they're doing about 22mph.

Are they chain driven or direct drive?

Im just wondering how much of an arse ache it would be to pop in a more useable engine such as one of the many 125cc pit bike engines that clutter eBay

a lot of these are CVT powered and where aimed for Sans permis market, so have a lot of restrictions because of that with a top speed of 28Mph or so

(in EU law they are technically classed as Quadracycles rather then cars)

No need to apologise or delete- more "great minds" etc. Indeed @HMC or @marm should move on it with haste

1, 2, 3... yep, more than 15 attendees. Sorry, Priti, is it only house parties? Ok, no £800 fines being given this evening then.

I watched the police dispersing a house party on TV ,must've been 100 people there but they just appeared to be letting them go 

WTF , 2 women drive 5 miles for a socially distanced walk with coffee and get a £200 fine( now cancelled) but 100 people take the piss and nothing

"Front seats need a clean"

 

From Wikipedia

Understatement is a form of speech or disclosure which contains an expression of lesser strength than what would be expected. It is the opposite of an embellishment. The rhetorical form of understatement is litotes in which understatement is used for emphasis and irony. This is not to be confused with euphemism, where a polite phrase is used in place of a harsher or more offensive expression.

Understatement may also be called underexaggeration to denote lesser enthusiasm. Understatement also merges the comic with the ironic, as in Mark Twain’s comment, “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.”[1]

 

Interior grime aside that looks excellent.
