Avolette 125 / 150 Lambretta engine

At the end of 1957, a redesign of the “Avolette” with new shapes and better mechanics, equipped with a Lambretta 125 or 150 cc engine, was presented to the public, but production ceased in 1958 after being manufactured only about 30 units, of which half a dozen survived.

A car with a 125 cc engine consumed 3 liters per 100 kilometers.  Note the major difference in the bodywork. The body did not have doors and an open-top, but a soft top could be installed, which leaned forward for access to the salon. The top of the roof could be moved back, revealing the sky above.

The Avolette was built by Air Tourist Sàrl of Paris, and Wikipedia’s list of French microcars dates it to 1955–1957. It was a licence-built version of the Brütsch Zwerg with a polyester body. Most versions had three wheels, but the 250 cc version had four.
