LARMAR 1949 - MICROCAR - THINNEST CAR OF ALL TIME For Sale
1949
GREEN/ BLACK
-------------------------------------------------- ----------
The Larmar holds the claim to be the world's narrowest car.
At 2 ft 4 inches wide, it was designed to pass through a standard gate that was 2 ft 6 inches wide
That's pretty close, as it only leaves 1 in. clearance on either side.
Even the diminutive Peel P-50, recognized as the world's smallest car, is over 1 ft. IS wider than the Larmar.
Besides its narrow width the Larmar was well-engineered,
with 4-wheel independent suspension, easy hand starting, and a very short 15 ft. turning circle.
The car's initial target market was for women to use as a shopping car.
(see video links at bottom of the listing)
Hand-control models were also available for handicap people.
Sales were very limited
Which is no surprise considering its unique styling.
Its mechanical underpinnings were quite sophisticated compared to other vehicles of the type, having four-wheel independent suspension with large coils at the front and torque tubes with quarter elliptic springs at the rear.
It was constantly being developed, finally receiving a 350-cubic centimeter twin in 1950.
The car’s windshield, full folding top, side-screens, and Cyclops headlamp put it in a totally different league than the typical invalid carriage of the time. Its unusual appearance was a perfect example of the typically British “function first” approach to engineering and design.
