Opelit Mopetta

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Opelit Mopetta was an egg-shaped, single seat, three wheeled microcar designed by Egon Brütsch, who also designed the Spatz Kabinenroller, in 1957 as Brütsch Mopetta using a 50 cc engine and an open roadster type glass fiber body.

A single wheel was in the front. The car was only 67 inches (170 cm) long. There were negotiations with Opel to distribute the car, but only 14 were built.
