This guy has been trying to get 5k for about a year now despite paying around 1700 quid for it originally and yet putting zero effort into actually improving it in any way. It's probably been standing most of the time deteriorating further.

Dream Cars……. There’s not a barge pole long enough…….

I had one a couple of years ago and sold it on here.  Twas interesting, but the front seats can't be used by children and the driving position is offset.  Otherwise they're a useful square appliance and the petrols are pretty economical.

I really fancied one of these coz of the dimensions and old school 3 across the front style but they seem to like to rot at an alarming rate. Don’t remember when I last saw one.

I'm sure there's a couple of you here that'll be able to explain WTF this is. I had no idea Ligier made microcars 

They sold them here in RHD form for a while in the early 2000s.  I had two Ambras back in the day, one diesel and one petrol.

Aaah right, you learn something new everyday! They must be very rare now in RHD form.

I haven't seen any for sale for a while.

The petrol Ambra holds the distinction of clocking the third slowest 0-60 time of all the vehicles I've owned, at 55.5 seconds.  (The diesel one was flat out at 45 so that doesn't count.)

Are they allowed on motorways? (Axiam, Ligier etc). 

I think 3 wheel Reliant etc aren't but I'm not sure whether 'quadricycle' are also not allowed. 

Maybe @LightBulbFun can illuminate us?

I've been on motorways in an 803cc Standard 8. 

And I thought my Amazon was slow.

Oh I didn't realise that. 

To be fair they're probably not much slower than my Avensis in limp mode yesterday.

Later Reliants will buzz along at 80 if you're brave enough.

I was overtaken by one flat out in the 2cv many years ago - m6 to a 14?  junction eastbound. The 2cv was off the clock.

apart from certain specifics,

as long as the vehicle in question whatever it might be, can legally achieve 25 Mph on flat level ground its legal on a motorway

so that includes  the Ligier in question and Reliant Robins :)
