In the swinging sixties, a new trend took to the streets - the bubble car. These quirky little vehicles captured the imagination of drivers and onlookers alike with their unique design and compact size. One such example was the 1962 Trojan Heinkel 200, its creator shrouded in mystery. With its small red frame and bubble top, this car turned heads wherever it went. But it wasn't just the Trojan Heinkel that made waves during this era. The CJ6 9465 RAC BMW Isetta also joined the ranks of these adorable bubble cars. Its side view showcased its charmingly petite stature, making it perfect for navigating crowded city streets. Another notable member of this iconic group was the 1957 Heinkel 154 Kabine, created by an unknown genius. This particular model boasted a sleek design that exuded elegance and sophistication. The 1960 Messerschmitt KR200 with an L-plate was another gem from this era's collection of bubble cars whose creator remains unknown. Its distinctive appearance caught attention as it cruised along roads with style and grace. During a concours d'elegance event in 1956, an unidentified individual proudly displayed their prized possession - a Messerschmitt KR175. This stunning vehicle epitomized class and refinement while showcasing all that made bubble cars so beloved. Not only were these cars adored by everyday motorists; they even found themselves in popular culture moments like "The Trouble With The Sixties" launch by LWTs where George Best himself posed alongside one of these charming automobiles. As we look back at these vintage treasures, we can't help but be captivated by their charm and timeless appeal.
