#CarFacts An #Egyptian President Helped Build An #Arab Car Called The #Frisky

There have been all kinds of thoroughly unhinged ideas to develop the Middle East, but one of the most unlikely was a proposed all-Arab automobile, built from a British microcar called the Frisky, as reader His Highness, the most Ramblin of Rovers explains.

President Nasser of Egypt once was involved in a plan to create an "All-Arab People's Car" out of a British microcar called the Frisky.

The deal to recreate it as the "Ramses" fell through, and the Ramses ended up as a disguised NSU. President Kouatly of Syria also had a Frisky.
The owner's organization estimates only 75 Friskys of all types remain worldwide.
