Hi, I'm considering getting a toad. What is the smallest toad that can be used "four down"? I do not need more than a two passenger vehicle. I am not interested in a motor bike.
The Volkswagen Original Beetle, or Karmann Ghia, or Thing, with 4 speed manual transmission. About 1800 lbs, IIRC If you can find one of the fiberglass kit cars built on The VW floor pan, it would be even lighter. The Manx was one, IIRC. I see them occasionally on eBay. In fact, I just looked, there are two of them. Search for "Meyer Manx".
Just for information, there are: 7 original Beetles 13 Karmann Ghias and 11 Things
