| The Velorex | ||
| The Velorex is as close to the most minimal car you can get. A steel tube framework with some wood and all covered in leather cloth. Built in Hradec Kralove, (Czechoslovakia) from 1953 until 1971 the Velorex is powered by a Jawa 2 stroke engine, a choice between 125, 250 or 350cc. Acceleration is surprisingly quick and a top speed of over 80 mph is not for the faint hearted. | ![]() |

| The model above is also from Czechoslovakia and is hand made in 1:87scale. It was in a box marked 'ARTAPO' but I don't know anymore about the maker. It is a replica of a type 16-250 from 1953. | ||
