Smallest plane you can drive a car into
That's perhaps because the opening question was about the SMALLEST plane (able to ...) and several have been mentioned that are a good deal smaller than this here Bristol Freighter. Not to mention its succession by modified DC4's.
Unless I missed something, and in as far as we talk about a "standard" 4-seat family car, none smaller than the Miles Aerovan has been suggested yet.

The Edgar Percival EP9/Lancashire Prospector looks as though it could swallow most of a Mini Moke with the screen flat through those rear clamshell doors, although it may be a bit narrow. It should take a motorbike or two though.

With the rear wheels so far behind the CG you're never going to be able to land that thing gracefully. If you try to grease the rear wheels on you're going to create a large nose-down moment, which will cause the nose to slam into the ground.

So, what's the smallest plane around that has a ramp for a small car...?
I'd even think you can get them at a decent price....

Bulgarian AN-26 droned over here yesterday; they are quite noisy (not that I mind!).
Mind you, the AN-12s are noisier and it's been far too long since I heard the AN-22 which is a real filling rattler, even flying over at 30000'!
