Unbelievable!
I was looking into some old issues of Quattroruote (1960) for some pictures of a Moretti and I saw this car! It is a short article, with no name and only a reference to his engine, a 250cc in the back. The picture is a better version of the one I posted.

Question: where did You get such old magazines from?

My bookshelves...  ;D

Seriously, I started buying them in 1994 (when I was at school) and bought all the others during the following years.

Just a tidbit: Pajtás is in no way connected to the microcars made in Székesfehérvár in 1955 or at least I haven't found a connection yet. And I also have to find the background of the Pajtás - one of the many microcars made in Hungary during that era.

The first picture, though with a different background...) is published in the very interesting book 'Voitures des Pays de l'Est' by Bernard Vermeylen, who is the outstanding authority in knowledge about Panhard and cars from Eastern Europe, especially Tatra. (I kno, I should write a review about this book  ;) )

Bernard is a very kind and gentle guy. And Voitues des Pays de l'Est is a great book with some very nice Russian prototypes...

Nice. But I still don't know a thing about its builders

Gentlemen, this interesting microcar was created in 1959 by Pál Fodor, an engineer who worked at the Ministry of Heavy Industries and Ferenc Ádám. It was labelled as a "Pannonia motorcycle with closed cabin" and was named Pajtás.
It was a three-wheeler based on a Pannonia motorcycle. The front fork was removed and the cabin was bolted on, with a few screws and shackles. It had a max speed of 75-80 km/h

The article I found today mentioned the possibility of serial production, which never happened.
