British constructor Perry Watkins sits in his "Wind Up" mini car on a street in Essen, Germany.
The car is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's smallest car with a licence to drive on public streets.
Just 104cm high, 129cm long and only 66cm wide, the mini always finds a parking space. It can reach 60km/h and even has security belts.
The car will be shown at the motor show, starting on November 27, in Essen.

  1. You should take a look at the Top Gear's challenge involving a car named Peel P50, which was the smallest road legal car listed in the Guiness Book of World Records. It's 3ft(120cm) long, and the show's host Jeremy Clarkson, who's 6ft5"(1,93m), is driving it inside the BBC Headquarters building. I think the video's available on Youtube.
