Pipsley · £2,495 on the forecourt
Pipsley Tiddler
Made for students, nans, and anyone on a terrace with no drive
The Pipsley Tiddler: a 2010 retro city car in Postbox Red, and one of the twelve on the forecourt at Cutshaw & Shutt, on the Radworth Ringway. Cute enough to get away with it, as the badge says.
Its advert in the showroom is aimed at students, nans, and anyone on a terrace with no drive. Ask Gary about its history and he will tell you: Italian design icon. One elderly lady owner.
The advert’s headline is Size isn't everything. (Parking is.) It runs on petrol, holds 44 litres and manages about 48 miles to the gallon in a normal week of driving, so a full tank is good for roughly 465 miles.
“Italian design. Icon. Like a scooter with a roof.”
“Parks anywhere. ANYWHERE. I once parked it in a skip. Don't ask.”
“Cheap as chips, cute as a button, red as a - red thing.”
