In a former puzzle with a minicar called the Kleinschnittger (see below) I wrote "Have you noticed how often you can see pictures of those microcars with someone (preferably a woman) lifting the back as easily as a litter can cover ?"
Next I had an answer from Paul Jaray, who wrote "Woman lifting a microcar, Part - 2" with the second picture below, a woman lifting a Peel.
I am adding another picture (a man lifting a Bamby).

Now another with a mystery car (Woman lifting a microcar, Part-3). That woman does really pull some muscle.
What you puzzlers have to do is:
1- Identify that car. One point for that.
2- Find as many pictures as possible of women lifting microcars (men are accepted, though, but...). Each picture will grant you one point.

All right. That was kind of easy. Now come the hardest part.

Well, the Kleinschnittger, the Peel, the Bamby and the Brütsch are identified so now comes the fun-part:

Swell !
I had fun too with your pics 1 and 4, thanks.  But they don't really show microcars, do they? Just very strong women. So they're not giving you any points. You only get two.
Well done.

Just for the fun of it. I don´t want points for that. I think it´s a great idea to let others search for interesting car related motifs. Let´s see, what will come up here later...

Thank you guys. I enjoy your answers as much as you enjoy that "puzzle" it seems. To be fair, I should add @re's post to another puzzle "But did you notice how the woman in the first picture is just standing there waiting for the right moment to pick up the car by the bumpers and lift it?" (see pic below). This one would be in the category "women about to lift a microcar.

I don't agree with that. It wasn't easy, and I guess you deserve 3 points altogether, if I count one for the second Brütsch (trouble is, I don't remember if I already added the first two).

I think you´ve added the first two points already...

So, here's another for the Brütsch Zwerg.

I think I have a picture of my wife lifting a door of an E30 BMW 3-series by one finger, does that count?  ;D

Just how micro does it have to be? By modern standards, I'd say this one is pretty small  ;D

Matiz seems all right. One point.
@Cabrius: let's see the pic and I'll decide.

I guess that site didn't allow hotlinking. Attached now.

That green person looks to be a woman (and I said men were allowed in moderate quantities anyhow). One point. What car is it? Never seen that.

Great pics!

The red one might be a Crosley.

I've put my glasses on. The woman in green seems to wear a beard and a yellow headband.

A new picture -sent by Grobmotorix for another topic- of someone lifting a mini car. That's another point for him.

I know it's bending the rules but I found a picture of Colin Chapman lifting a Lotus 11 frame, I know it's not a Microcar or even a complete car but it is very light.

Appreciated and amusing, neilshouse, but irrelevant. I have a picture of myself lifting a ladder but I don't believe I would  accept it either.
