World's Smallest Car?

It seems there's an endless addition of items for the Guinness  Book of  Records. Just for the record, one can think of just about anything and get it published for all the world to see.

I am pasting here the write up and a photo of Perry Watkins' world's smallest car ever.

Perry Watkins‘ “Wind up” mini car was listed in Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s smallest car with license to drive on public streets.




The mini car was reported to have a measurement of 41 inches high, 51 inches long and 26 inches wide.
According to several news sites, Perry Watkinsonly used a coin-operated children’s ride. He repainted the body and repurposed a chassis from a Shanghai Shenke quad bike. The rear tiresand wheels are from a Honda Monkey motorcyle while the front wheels were custom-made.
The world’s smallest car has security belts and can drive 60 kph.
Reports said that the mini car will be shown at the motor show in Essen, Germany startingNovember 27, 2010 until December 5, 2010.
