Identify an old car type

phormium · 2024-07-18 18:38:57

I don't have one of these :) but it's on some old film I have from the early 1960s, unusual method of getting into the car! Anyone know what type it was?

From the shape of the quarterlight I'd say its a Heinkel "Kabine" bubble car. Briefly built in Ireland; most of them were not.

Very interesting! This was taken in a small village in Wicklow, sometime between 1958 to 1968 to be as accurate as possible so fits the timescale.
