The Collapso folding car, to house your car overnight in the oddest of places such as sheds and wardrobes. Of course, when involved in a head on collision, the result can have painful consequences to its inmates - a small price to pay for its many unique advantages.

Efficient Fold Folding Heath Humor Robinson Space Will I Am

EDITORS COMMENTS
(c) Courtesy of the estate of Mrs J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/Mary Evans Picture Library In this intriguing photograph, we find ourselves gazing upon an ingenious invention from the annals of automotive history: The Collapso folding car. This compact marvel, designed by W.H. Robinson, promised to revolutionize urban living by allowing car owners to house their vehicles in the most unexpected of places – sheds, wardrobes, and even under the bed. The Collapso, with its quirky name and innovative design, was an efficient answer to the space constraints faced by many city dwellers during the early 20th century. Its unique folding mechanism allowed it to be reduced to a third of its original size when not in use, making it an ideal choice for those who couldn't afford a dedicated garage or parking space. However, as with any pioneering technology, there were risks involved. The compact nature of the Collapso meant that in the event of a collision, the consequences could be quite painful for its occupants. Yet, these potential drawbacks seemed like a small price to pay for the numerous advantages offered by this folding wonder. This photograph, taken by renowned British photojournalist, Heath Robinson, captures the essence of this historical oddity – a testament to human ingenuity and the relentless pursuit of efficient transport solutions.
