Hi i was just wondering if anybody would be able to tell me where it is possible to purchased an Amica 203 here in the UK... They are currently still being made in sweeden but i cant seem tto find any on ebay. Does anyone know of perhaps a specialist website that may have Amica 203 or a50 for sale. Thanks,,,, Heres a video of the car if you don't know what im talking about .. I think its a sweed video but what the hell . It gives you an idea. I saw a coulple at a specialist import garage about 9 years ago but they are unfortunatly no longer in business http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpZ7tNwVI90
Looks like a Reliant Robin that shrunk in the wash! (linky added for John & our other overseas friends)
a mini reliant robin. sounds the same now as it used to. (my uncle had about four as he he could drive them with just a motorbike licence, no revers see)
I guess the big question is, why're they still being made in sweden?! They have volvo and saab already. For importing, is it not possible to buy one direct from the manufacturers and get them to ship it? If there are no UK import agents then it's possible they may let you do it yourself...
This reminds me of the Peel P50. The smallest production car ever made, with 90+ MPG! Saw it on Top Gear the first time - Jeremy drove it around the BBC TV HQ.
My uncle had one for many years, because back in the day, you could drive one on a motorcycle license. The Peel is back as a leccy car. The Top Gear Australia boys had to drive them around Knowsley Safari Park in Liverpool.
AMICA 203 -- Hi, Amica 203 are not made in Sweden, but in Italy by Grecav, but they stopped making them by the year 1999. you can now get Second-Hand AMICAs in sweden at "www.blocket.se" they cost from 800.ukp to 2200.ukp, and they are 2.models, 4.gear + reverse & Automatic, you can tell them from oneather by the Gastank lid, if its on the Backside = Automatic, on the whrite side = 4.gear , i hope this will help you. i Drive a 4.gear Amica my self.

I didn't think it was swedish, after all its not a Volvo nor is it a Saab (still very sad about Saab) The Swedish have an interesting view to car design and I like it. Such details as putting the ignition between the seats so when you do hit that tree whilst driving on ice you don't have the painful problem of removing every key from your right knee. Also reverse to lock the car in place is better than a steering lock. Especially after you've cooked the brakes using Stig blomqvist method to get oversteer from a FWD car Hardly on topic I know but meh!
Maybe not the best microcar I've ever seen, but it looks like fun anyway! OP - Maybe try asking in a forum for microcars? Or on PistonHeads?
