Andy Kershaw: 'The cockpit was filling up with carbon monoxide'

Available for over a year

Broadcaster Andy Kershaw celebrates the post-war micro-car, risking bumpy rides and deadly fumes to explore the appeal of riding in these diminutive vehicles. In Cheaper than Walking he meets enthusiasts including Jean Hammond, custodian of the largest private collection of microcars, who took a trip across Germany crammed into a tiny Frisky Family Three model with her husband Edwin and a bubble car fan group called The Sidcup Bubblers.
