Dave@Moon Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) The car built a little over 6 years ago out of a VW Microbus chassis (supposedly) for BirdsEye for this British TV commercial: Edited April 25, 2012 by Dave@Moon added (supposedly), seems too small for Microbus (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stock_steve Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I'd wager it was more likely a rebodied Isetta... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Siegfried Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 :cool:Volkswagen Does It Again! Does look a bit like a minature microbus. Maybe I should keep my '67 micro to haul the little guy around inside. Might fit through the side doors.I saw a new Fiat on the local roads. The owner had already dropped in a nitros. package. Smoked the doors off the dude in the rod hot V-6 Japanesse built car! :cool: I was really envious! Can hardly wait to see an Abarth style package for the new FIAT!

Shop Rat Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 The car built a little over 6 years ago out of a VW Microbus chassis (supposedly) for BirdsEye for this British TV commercial: Cute ad. When I looked at what was left after all the sheet metal fell off, it looks like one of the larger ATVs or one of the crossover type golf carts.

Amphicar BUYER Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 The car shown without the sheetmetal is NOT the same as the one pictured in post #1. The rear wheels are set close together like an Isetta while the bare chassis has both axels the same width. The stunt pea was probably a golf cart while I think the show pea was indeed based on an Isetta. How pea-culiar is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bofusmosby Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 If you were to put rubber bumpers all the way around the car, if you got in an accident, the car would be like a ball in a pinball machine. Just run some sensors on the rubber bumpers to cause bells to go off when hit by something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Siegfried Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Get one or two more and you would have peas in a pod. Ok S.R., good idea! But I think I'll go for a hopped up FIAT 500. Already looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
