You really do have to love the sheer variety of cars that you can find on Kijiji. We’ve done lots of roundups before but there’s no need to do a micro car roundup because this ad features five cars in one place! And they’re all listed for the same price too!
The current owner, Mario, owns about 40 micro cars and says he brought them over in containers from Germany 10 years ago. The five cars for sale are each listed for $4,000 in Markham, Ont.
Velorex and Veloto

The rarest of the bunch is the spindly 1976 Veloto which blurs the line between a car and a bicycle. Mario says that there are less than 12 Velotos left in the world making it rarer than a Ferrari 250 GTO. Just don’t expect them to be equally fast.
1973 KV Mini 1

My personal favourite car in the ad is the 1973 KV Mini 1 which seems to have been designed before curves were invented. The Mini 1 is powered by a diminutive two-stroke engine and Mario says they can be worth up to $8,000 when restored and perhaps more to American buyers.
Micro cars are questionably functional but the rarity and hilarity of these cars must make them a hit at car shows. Imagine being dwarfed at the traffic lights by a Smart Fortwo.
