Micro-Sized Goggomobil Is Worth $50k | RIDICULOUS RIDES

A MODIFIED micro-car that weighs just 345kg has become one of Australia’s most loved cars. The Goggomobil Dart was developed in Sydney by the company Buckle Motors Pty Ltd and is now supposedly worth around $50,000 (USD). Despite being just 4ft wide and having a top speed of 63mph, it has since become a company mascot and is known to turn heads in the street. Chris Boribon said: “So cute, micro-sized, it’s different, it’s quirky. People love it.

It needs everything it can to cut through the wind. Some people call it a lawn-mower engine but it is 300cc, two-stroke, three-cylinder.” The original Dart was designed in 1958 and went on sale the following year, with around 700 examples produced up to the time that production ceased in September 1961. Chris added: “You don’t get anywhere fast. You feel like you’re in a sports car but you’re going 30 miles an hour.”
