Odd and Interesting Vehicles: 1962 Peel P50
The tiny car features “seating for one plus a grocery bag,” one headlight, one wiper, and one door. An original Peel P50 sold at auction in Florida for $176,000 in 2016.

At just 54 inches long and 41 inches wide, the 1962-1965 Peel P50 is the world’s smallest production car. Only 50 were built, with 27 of the originals known to still be in existence. In 2010, the British company began to build updated versions with electric motors.

Interest in the Peel P50 was renewed recently when it was featured on the British motoring show Top Gear, with host Jeremy Clarkson (now of the Amazon series The Grand Tour) driving around – and inside of – BBC headquarters.
