The Scootacar was a British single-seat microcar manufactured in Leeds during the years 1957–1964. Scootacar Ltd. was a division of locomotive producer Hunslet Engine. According to corporate legend, the car was dreamed up to please the director’s wife, who wanted something easier to park than her Jaguar. The car was designed by Henry Brown. A redesign in the 1960s was much more successful than the original, with seating for three and a top speed of 89 km/h.
