Ahh those  longer lights threw me - I immediately thought micro/bubblecar etc but can’t recall ever having seen one of these early  “longer light” models or maybe I just didn’t notice the detail at the time...🙄

I also prefer this less “bug-eyed” look.

I can't say I've ever seen them before either! Very nice car indeed!!!

Which all took me down the Isetta Rabbit-Hole where I came across the (proposed) Microlino!

Looks very interesting if it ever does make it to the production-line!

I rather like the new electric version of the Isetta, the Microlino. A bit expensive at £10,500 compared with the Citroen Ami at around half of that but the Microlino has nearly double the range. https://microlino-car.com/en/microlino

Agreed Wilson, an attractive update of the Isetta, but I would not want to have an accident in one.

Last time I "drove" a Micro product (an aluminium scooter) this was the result. Be Warned!

TBH it wasn't Micro's fault...

PS That's my tibia before c.8 months on crutches - I'll spare you the leg-at-45degrees X-ray.

I agree about not wanting to have an accident in a Microlino but my thinking would be that this would be instead of a motorbike, which is even worse. I don't think having an accident in my Morgan Three Wheeler would be much fun either but probably better now that the chassis has been replaced by Morgan with one not made out of Chinese low quality iron conduit pipe, which had a number of fatigue failures of the main fore and aft tubes. After my quad bike was stolen in 2018, I thought of buying a Renault Twizy, as my Morgan was dead at the time at the French Morgan dealer, who took 11 months to replace the chassis but did it so badly with lethal mistakes that the car had to be trucked back to Malvern to have the job done properly with chassis #3. However the battery leasing cost for a second hand Twizy is prohibitively expensive for a low mileage user like me. The range of the Citroen Ami at only 70km is just too short, as that means a real 50km or less. I could not comfortably get from my village to the nearest large town, Draguignan and back (23km each way). I bought the quad bike in 2005 as I thought it would be safer than the motorbike I was considering, a newly built recreation of a Moto Guzzi Dondolino or Falcone 500. The only accident I had on the Quad was when I was hit in the face by a large bird, probably a crow and had to have a couple of stitches in my nose, cut by my shattered visor.

I've been following that for several years :)

Don't know anything about the electric Ami, but that sounds a very short range.  I was hoping Citroen would produce the eMehari, but that seems to have been shelved.

Sorry, took me a while. Here´s the next one. I´d like to know in which car I´m driving (maker and model).

I too think it's the US (most likely Florida) due to the other cars, the location of the inspection sticker, and no numbers plates on the front of the cars (Pennsylvania and Florida only have rear number plates).  It makes me think of one of the causeways between Miami and Miami Beach.  The bonnet could be so many different cars.  I suspect it's a rental car made (1st) in the US or (2nd) made in Japan.

Rental car yes, but not a conventional limousine. US made yes (at least I think so). Forget the location, it´s not FL and not PA and it was not the scenic bridge I initially thought it was although the landscape around was very scenic too.
