Bring a little Barcelona vehicle history to your everyday carry. Clúa was founded in 1949 and became known for motorcycles such as the MC-75, introduced in 1951, before pursuing a small roadster of its own. Presented in 1957, the Clúa 500 reflected the company’s ambitious move into microcars and the challenges of bringing a new design to production. This Laptop Sleeve honors a rare Spanish marque and suits collectors drawn to engineering stories beyond the familiar names.
Clúa was a Spanish motorcycle and microcar brand made by Construcciones Metálicas Clúa, a company founded and owned by Joan Clúa i Maluquer. It operated from 1949 to 1962, with its headquarters at 6 Avenida de Pau Casals in Barcelona, then called Avenida General Goded, and its assembly line on Carrer d'Espronceda. The company built its first motorcycle, the MC-75, in 1951 and developed a range of 50, 75, 125 and 175 cc motorcycles and tricycles. Its 125 cc range expanded in 1953, and the 125-Rapita followed in 1954. In 1955, Clúa began work on the Clúa 500, a small roadster-type microcar. Catalan coachbuilder Pedro Serra designed its plastic body, drawing inspiration from the Pegaso Z-102. The car was presented at the 1957 Barcelona Trade Fair, but manufacturing defects in sourced sheet metal led the company to refund customers who had ordered one. The final example was sold in 1960, and the company went bankrupt in 1962. An estimated 100 Clúa 500s were produced.
