David Wilkins<p>Here’s an unusual vehicle I often see around locally. It’s a Microcar MC1, which apparently qualifies as a quadricycle rather than a car in the UK because of its low weight - a bit like the Renault Twizy, although the MC1 is petrol powered rather electric. These appear to have been imported into the UK during the noughties, with a proper RHD conversion.
