I Bought This 50cc Barn Find Micro Car - Can It Deliver Me Back Home?

Microcar
1980s1981Barn FindRoad Tripyoutube

Abandoned for over 40 years! Join me as I buy this Arola 18 micro car from 1981 and set about reviving it. Despite its high revving rear mounted engine and composite chassis we’re not talking about a rocket ship here. A mere 50cc (that’s 0.05 litres) 2 stroke engine is all we have to propel this ‘car’ and all my stuff back home. This video is the full revival and road trip. There are some challenges to overcome, and some hills that feel more like mountains with only 2BHP! Enjoy the ride! Enquiries: roadtrip.revivals56@gmail.com Thanks for watching! Don’t forget to like, comment and subscribe for more revivals, unusual classic projects and occasional fleet updates.
