For tiny, try this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_KR200 I
remember someone down the road from where I grew up had one. Funny looking
things.
Those are wonderful! three wheel, two seater, passenger behind driver,
After the war, Messerschmitt couldn't build planes, but had the tooling
to make a great bubble canopy cockpit.

Isetta: Was designed by an Italian refrigerator company, and looks it.
The door is on the front like a refrigerator. The one that I rode in, the
door wouldn't stay latched (like my refrigerator)
Four wheels, but rear are VERY close together; variants with a single rear
wheel were made for places where motorcycle registration was quite a bit
easier. BMW made and sold them until they decided to make CARS.
The r@re Isetta "limousine" adds a side door on the right, and room for a
person in the back seat.
