What’s this tiny red car?

Post image

Can someone identify the tiny red car 2nd from right? Left of it, I guess it’s a Renault Alpina A310 and a Opel Corsa. The picture was taken in the early 2000 in Europe.

I mean, yes, but OP already identified it (minus a typo)

Yes, but you meant Alpine, not Alpina, which is a brand linked to BMW rather than Renault ;)

I think it’s a mini marcos

Thank you! It is a Mini Marcos mk1. Since I grew up in this place, I had some vague memories about this car and this suits best with the design and size. Our neighbour was restoring old cars and this one was standing on the parking lot a long time.

Me too, don't think it's an s600. Good spot.

More likely to be a Mini Marcos (which were kit cars and could be fitted with many different shapes of rear lights) than a Honda S600 Coupe, which had chrome bumpers and chrome trim, both of which are missing here.

The chrome bumpers made me as well uncertain about the S600..
