Post WW2 Europe was in need of inexpensive transportation. The Italian company, Volugrafo, had made motorcycles prior to the war and stepped up to produce the Bimbo. There was a small run of the lightweight (125 kg) aluminum bodied car that went out of production in 1948.
The Bimbo was powered by a 125 cc 4 stroke engine and a three speed transmission that drove one wheel with a chain. There was no reverse gear so moving the car backwards involved get out and pushing it. It had a leaf spring suspension.
