Mecum Auctions to sell entire antique microcar collection. [View all]

On February 15, Mecums will auction off the entire Bruce Weiner Minicar Museum at no reserve in Madison Georgia. The cars are in mostly pristine condition.

The entire 800 page catalogue is online here as a slide show. It's obviously fairly big, so you may have to give it a few seconds to load. Have patience:

Besides the usual BMW Isettas and Messerschmitts, there are some unusual automobilia lots as well. Unfortunately, most of these cars will go to smaller private collections and never be seen again.

Here's a very cool commercial for the auction featuring a race between a Mustang and a Peel P50:
