While the listing highlights the car's endurance and iconic design, it also mentions it may well hold the record for endurance having completed a 240 mile round trip to a microcar meeting in one day and having to navigate through London in the process. A great car for the collector and iconic in its innovative design. Which suggests notable use. Without specific details on current condition, a 'Good' rating seems appropriate, indicating moderate wear but overall solid.

Description
The Peel P50 is a three-wheeled microcar originally manufactured from 1962 to 1965 by the Peel Engineering Company on the Isle of Man.
It was listed in the 2010 Guinness World Records as the smallest production car ever made.
It had no reverse gear, but a handle at the rear allows the very lightweight car to be physically manoeuvred when required.
The P50 used a 49 cc DKW engine, which gave it a top speed of approximately 37 mph and was equipped with a three-speed manual transmission that had no reverse gear.
Consequently, turning in a confined area could be achieved only by pushing, or lifting the car using the handle on the rear and physically pulling it round.

Standard colours were Daytona White, Dragon Red, and Dark Blue.
