There is argument that smaller vehicles are more environmentally friendly, so imagine how green these vintage cars must be!
In the ‘In another Life’ gallery, there is a remarkable collection of images showing miniature automobiles from the past, and more interestingly, the people who used them for their day to day lives. They do not seem very practical, although they do look super cool - which is why I would love to be able to drive around in one today.
I can’t say it would be a safe car to drive on the motorway though!
