No interest in this cutie so far. So it has to move up.

Absolutely right. Another well-earned point for you.

Am I correct in presuming this is a four-wheeler? Or does it only have three?

Wendax · April 09, 2013, 07:48:46 AM

Looks like a four-wheeler to me, no space for a central front wheel left.

Where and when this picture was taken and the name of this vehicle for one point

Rusty Chrome · August 27, 2016, 07:32:46 AM

The picture was taken at the 1957 Milan trade fair. However the name of the vehicle is more elusive. At this fair they were referred to as PYE micro-taxis, but identical electric taxi's were used at several Milan trade fairs and were sponsored by Cinzano in 1952 and Durban's toothpaste in 1954.

I can't establish who made them or what their manufacturer named them, but I did find a company who has a restored example available to hire!

I've the same name (PYE) and the same location: I think the point is yours!

We had it before as the Turrinelli Microtaxi AT9.

Merged.

In Cinzano livery at the 1952 fair
