Did you know that the world’s 10th smallest country is home to a pretty spectacular car collection, including the world’s tiniest car?
This tiny microcar greets you at the door as you step into the past. And in our opinion, it’s the most exciting car in a room stuffed to the brim with incredible autos.
The Classic Car Collection is located in St Paul’s in Malta, a truly tiny country that you can drive the full length of in under an hour.
The world’s tiniest car suits the tiny country. So it’s no surprise that you can find the BMW Isetta there – the one-time saviour of BMW in prime position.

The world’s tiniest car lives in the world’s tenth smallest country
There’s nothing better than when you stumble across a treasure trove when you least expect it. And the Classic Car Collection in Malta is literally bursting at the seams with a selection of classic cars and memorabilia.
The pièce de résistance among the Formula Three cars and Pontiacs is a little microcar that greets you at the door.
The BMW Isetta was once a little car that saved BMW from dying.
And with spin-offs galore, it’s become a tiny icon in the world of automation. So it’s really no surprise that the tiny vehicle was found in the world’s 10th smallest country.
Where does it live?
In St Paul’s Bay on the small island of Malta, you, like us, would be surprised to stumble across a car collection like that of Mr. Carol Galea.
Located just south of Italy, Malta is the world’s 10th smallest country, and it takes less than an hour to cross from coast to coast.
As with many European countries, big cars tend to get stuck a lot in the narrow streets. So, a car like the world’s tiniest one makes perfect sense.
It’s no wonder it’s a popular vehicle. But the collection is also the perfect little hidden gem if you want to step away from the heat and look at some lovely cars.
