they should really bring these back

this adorable creation is the vespa 400, a micro car made in france from 1957-1961. with the resurgence of the fiat 500 here in america, i could only imagine how many people would be interested in these teeny tiny stylish cars. i’d love to bop around town in one.

That is ridiculously cute! I don’t even drive and I’m madly attracted to it!

I’m seeing these all around Rome! But they’re usually bright orange…so crazy how different cars are here. The smaller the better. I love the baby blue here…definitely want one of my own.

I want one! And since I’m living in Denmark now, so very close to France, I think I deserve one! If only my wallet agreed!

Ever since I saw Audrey Hepburn in “Roman Holiday” I’ve wanted a Vespa. And these teeny Vespa 400 micro cars just crack me up… in a good way! So cute. Would make paying for gas a lot less traumatic, that’s for sure!
