The Microcar MC1 and MC2 are small cars manufactured near Nantes in Western France. The Company behind the Microcar also builds boats and started building small cars when France introduced a law that states you don’t need a license to drive certain small cars, the UK has a similar situation where you only need a motorbike licence to drive cirtain small cars.
