The holidays are a time for the best of humanity to show itself, to rise to the surface and do good unto others. This to show it some compassion. This little old friend-shaped car needs a warm garage for the new year, and you’re just the person to give it one. Go rescue this Fuldamobil Type S, and never let it spend a night out in the cold again.

Based on the same architecture as its predecessor Type N “Silver Flea,” the Type S received a much more aerodynamic rounded body shape, turning it from a slab-sided can of ham into a three-wheeled Porsche 356-esque micro machine. This one was built under contract at the NWF factory, where around 1,000 cars per month were cranked out as demand outpaced what Fuldamobil could build in its own factory. The NWF cars, like this one, featured a 200cc ILO-Motorenwerke aircooled single-cylinder engine making around 9.5 horsepower.

This little guy is a smidge rough around the edges, but it appears to have most of its components intact, and could likely be driven with just a bit of tinkering. These cars are so incredibly simple, in that they operate a bit like large scooters. With a bit of elbow grease, I’m almost sure it’ll crank over and start up. You want to throw caution to the wind and give it a shot yourself.

Okay, definitely throw a new cover on that seat before you drive it, though. Or at least a moving blanket or something. Ew.

This Fulda is located in the Czech Republic (just 10 miles from the German border), and of bringing home a new friend. As the temperatures start approaching freezing, you’ll really want to hurry. We can’t let this little guy freeze and starve just sitting out in the Czech countryside. Bring him home. We all love a weird little guy, don’t we folks?

2013 McLaren 12C Spider: The Jalopnik Review
2013 McLaren 12C Spider: The Jalopnik Review
McLaren was predestined to build a version of its MP4-12C for the pate-tanning set. But is the new Spider as that shares its nerdy alphanumer-name, or is it — like most other convertibles — a tragedy of compromise? Let's head to Spain and find out. Torsional rigidity. Have a little...

For $7,400, IX Marks The Spot
Today's BMW E30 spins all its wheels all the time, but will its price also leave you reeling? When priced under two grand, a running NPOCP contender usually gets a hearty thumbs up for low cost mobility and why the hell not-ness. That's not however what transpired with yesterday's reintarnation...

2013 Chevrolet Malibu Turbo: The Jalopnik Review
The new Chevrolet Malibu Turbo is interesting mostly because of the "turbo" part of the name. But not for the reasons you'd think. When most of us think of "turbo" we still think of it in terms of fast and sporty, since that's what we grew up with. If a...

Forza Horizon Is The First Car Culture Racing Game
The console racing sim, as we know it, is rapidly approaching its natural limit. You can add more cars, different tracks, and continue to improve tire physics, but those wanting to virtually experience a race are likely to find a better chance at realism using rFactor, iRacing or any number...

For $19,900, Be A Moke
In Great Britain the word Moke is derived from an archaic term for Donkey. Today's Mini Moke may seem kind of archaic, but would paying this zebra-painted car's price make you look like a total ass? The Moke was a derivative of Issigonis' brilliant Mini, and was even more spare...

For $1,850, You Dirty Rat
In home décor parlance, furnishings that are supposed to look kind of ratty are called distressed, while when the same is done to something that has four wheels and flies, it's called a Rat. Today's Chevy S10 has been majorly ratted out, but will you think its price is too...
