Sorry for the fuzzy pic. It's the only one I have.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

It might be the Brogan built in 1946

No, it's not. We had the Brogan before: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=7492.0

Another try. It's the Lucciola, an engine powered child's car built in 1953. Top speed was 12kmh.

Yes, it is. Meanwhile a helpful fellow puzzler has provided me some links about this car. It was built by Piero Patria. Down below you can see some more pictures:

Thanks for the point. I also have a better picture. In your vintage pedal cars special are two more pics of this car.

Well this has solved a very long mystery for me. When I first discovered my love for very tiny cars beyond the normal Isettas and Peels etc, I found a picture in a magazine showing the young Alexander Onassis sat in a beautiful 3 wheeled electric car, but no manufacturer's name was given. I have been searching my files over the last few days and sadly the clipping seems to be long gone, but suffice to say this has been puzzling me for the best part of 20 years so it's great to get a name at last!

These are the only two photos I can find of the car online, apologies for the watermarks
