This is an Erad Agora, a French electric microcar. They made a few electric microcars, one uglier than the other ...

There is a very strong relation of the puzzle car to the Erad Agora, but it isn't one.

Youre right: when I type 'Erad Agora' into Google at put the pictures on 'yellow', the first picture I have ... is yours. It seems to be a 1/5 scale model of the same car ...

Is that the answer you where looking for?

I also found a brochure of this car (if you can call it that  ;D) ... in yellow.

The puzzle car is not an Erad.  ;)

This one I don't understand?? I'm open to new ideas ofcourse, but sometimes you can be so sure of something ...

Isn't this the same picture? It even says 'Agora' on the side?

It seems they used the puzzle picture even in the official Erad catalogue. I'm not sure whether the "Agora" decal was just added in the picture. But the picture was used before in an other brochure for a car with a different name.

I've scrolled a bit further down the same page and found the picture below ...

Is Flipper the name you're looking for? Cause I've never heard of it ... always thought that Flipper had just made 1 type of microcar (type I and II)

Flipper it is! Flipper made the Flipper I and II, as well as a prototype Flipper III. As far as I understand, the Erad Agora is a Flipper development that was taken over by Erad. Does anybody know whether the Flipper "Agora" had a proper model designation?

Another point for you, congratulations.

I didn't know about the Flipper III; everyday I learn something new here ...
