1956 AC Petite 8 bhp, 350 cc Villiers two-stroke single-cylinder engine, three-speed manual transmission, swing-arm independent rear suspension, and rear-wheel drum brakes. Wheelbase: 76 in. Following World War II, and faced with the Suez fuel crisis, AC Cars introduced the Petite, an aptly named three-wheeler that was capable of carrying two adults and had a fabric roll-top roof, lightweight aluminum bodywork, and a rear-mounted Villiers motorcycle engine for propulsion. It was dubbed an “invalid carriage,” as it was intended to carry mobility-challenged owners for short distances, such as visiting neighbors and shopping, and for other local use. Several thousand of the little cars were produced, most of which were driven into the ground by their original owners. Very few have survived, and fewer still are in the United States.
