Ernst Hillers was the brother of the owner of the former Hillers auto
Museum, a museum that had over 50 microcars on display. The museum
is familiar to enthusiasts through a videotape about the museum’s
vehicles, called Klein Aber Mein, meaning: it’s small, but its mine. Ernst
owned an auto parts business, and this ready source of microcar parts
would be the inspiration for building a unique, small car for his son.
While many one-offs did not have the benefits of a design department,
with aesthetically unhappy results, this car turned out extremely well.
Its lines are inspired by fifties american cars, while its low and wide
proportions are made possible by its intended pint-sized driver. Hillers
later altered the chassis to accommodate proper car-type independent
suspension and hydraulic brakes. The rear-mounted motor is the
familiar 200-cubic centimeter two-stroke by Fichtel & Sachs used in the
Messerschmitt, which is gravity-fed by a custom-fabricated fuel tank.
