I don't know if it was an S500 or an S600s but I saw one in the Hudson Valley a 
couple of months ago. It was shabby yellow with the roof chopped off and a 
rollbar added. Wheels looked smaller than those on the classic Mini. I asked 
the owner to contact me if he ever wanted to sell. Aside from a Berkley, I 
can't think of any smaller car.
Happy New Year to All
