After the Second World War, Italy had to get back on its feet, and this necessarily involved the development of individual mobility. However, money was scarce, and it was necessary to find the most economical way to get people moving.

Indeed, from the late 1940s and early 1950s in Italy, an interesting offering of Microcars developed, although they didn’t achieve the expected success, they still made their mark in the automotive industry. To name a few: Alca Volpe, Mi-Val Mivalino, Iso Isetta, and finally one of the rarest: the Volugrafo Bimbo 46, built by Volugrafo, a company that manufactured a miniature motorcycle during the Second World War and briefly produced a small car in Turin after the war. The company also made trailers, aircraft parts, and gas pumps.

The seller says that there are currently about a dozen of these cars registered worldwide. We have no trouble believing him, as this vehicle is so rare that most people are unaware of its existence, and it only appears for sale once every 5-10 years. This particular specimen seems to have benefited from a very nice conservative restoration, although unfortunately, it appears that some of the steel trim on the body, as well as the bumpers, have been lost over time. However, we are confident that with some reference photos, a skilled bodyworker could reproduce them. Find it for sale at €25,000 (today $26,700) here in Reggio Emilia, Italy.
