The Stour Scarab was the world’s first minivan. It was envisioned by its designer, William Bushnell Stout, as being an office on wheels. Produced in 1932, the Scarab had a short nose and a long wheelbase in order to maximise accessible space. The Scarab’s body was intended to closely emulate the design of an aluminium aircraft fuselage. It was the world’s first car with a fibreglass bodyshell and air suspension. At the time of its production, the Stout Scarab was considered to be an ugly car. However, it is now respected as an Art Deco icon. Only about a dozen of these odd vehicles were made and it is thought that there are only five surviving Scarabs today.

This strange car looks a little like it has feet rather than wheels. The 1948 Tasco was a post-World War 2 American sports car, designed by Gordon Buehrig. It featured airplane inspired controls and was the first car in the world to have a T-top roof. When GM used the same design on the 1968 Corvette, Buehrig sued them as he owned the patent for this. The name ‘Tasco’ stands for The American Sports Car Company. The strange looking wheel covers are supposed to provide protection for the wheels from the wind, reducing drag and increasing speed. The prototype Tasco had an eye watering cost, escalating to a huge $57,000. This meant that this vehicle never actually made it on to the production line in the end.

At first glance, you would be forgiven for thinking that the Ferrari 512S Modulo looks more like a spaceship than a car. With an extremely low, wedge-shaped body, this unusual looking car has a canopy-style glass roof which slides forward to enable the driver to enter the cabin of the car. The Ferrari 512S Modulo was a concept sports car, first unveiled at the 1970 Geneva Motor Show. All four of the car’s wheels are partially covered, adding to the illusion that it is a hovering spaceship rather than a car. The Ferrari V12 engine allows the Modulo to reach a top speed of around 220mph and to get from 0-60mph in an impressive 3 seconds.

Photo of Peel P50. Listed in the 2010 Guinness Book of World Records as the smallest production car ever made. This three-wheeled micro car was originally manufactured by the Peel Engineering Company on the Isle of Man for only three years, from 1962 to 1965. It was advertised as being the perfect size to fit one adult and one shopping bag. No room for the kids in this tiny car! It only has one door, which is on the left-hand side, and one headlight. Going backwards in the Peel P50 was not an easy option as the car has no reverse gear and needs to be maneuvered backwards physically using a handle at the car’s rear. Only 50 of these unusual little cars were originally manufactured and only 27 are known to still be in existence
