£95k to spend on a car? Forget E types-this is the one for you.

Tempted?

Look at the guide and tell me I am not dreaming.

Well, it hasn't got any crossover pipes, or windshield nozzles, and it's probably quite easy to bleed the brakes (it does have brakes, doesn't it?). If you decided to do a full restoration you'd have very little to have rechromed, you wouldn't need Koolmat or such, and you'd probably get away with a pint of primer, a pint of filler, and a pint of color. You could probably redo the interior with samples from the suppliers, and since all 4 bits of glass are dead flat, it's probably quite easy to fit new seals.

I think I'd rather have the previous lot, the Alfa Romeo Giulia GT Sprint, for about 1/3rd of the price.

You don't need brakes. You simply turn the steering wheel, and it stops immediately on its roof - I am not ( really ) joking - there is a video of a cream coloured Peel which shows its instability perfectly

I would be surprised if it attracts a single bid

Motor mouth Clarkson once drove one of these around BBC's television centre. Around the inside of the building! As I recall it has no reverse gear, to turn round you get out and pick the front of the 'car' up and turn it around!

And as this for £95k. I think I'll go along to the auction and when nothing happens, offer up a bid of 50p!

Sadly, it's the wrong colour, otherwise I'd buy it in a heartbeat .................

Apparently I got it wrong, the carry handle to 'reverse' the car is at the back, not the front. Not sure if that justifies the extra £94,999.50!

I had a look at the website Steve but sadly can't see a Hayabusa 1300cc version.

I was thinking that to give it a performance boost I'd need to fit a Briggs and Stratton 140cc engine, replacing the 50cc motor. If it works for go karts, why not? Failing that I could dontate the engine from my ZZR1100. There wouldn't be much room left inside for a people to sit, but the performance would be interesting.
