And it has been announced, in true comrade fashion, that only one automobile will be produced and made available.

There will be only one engine available, only a single colour, no options to choose from and modifications will not be permitted.

In fact, it'll be like a bike scheme where, provided you've made your contributions and have a valid licence, you can select any vehicle from a communal carpark and off you go.

Now, being recognised as the greatest minds in the motoring world, PistonHeads are asked to decide a production vehicle from past or present to take up the mantle. Which engine? Which fuel? What colour? Which soon to be standard options do we collectively decide?

Bear in mind that any old Doris or Kevin will, provided they have a licence (no different to the driving test you're currently required to pass, and no PassPlus required), be able to drive away in one.

Over to you, comrades. What car do we get the world to drive?

I think the world would be a substantially more amusing place if everyone, irrespective of their shape or size or indeed journey distance had to drive a Peel P50.

Da tovarisch... I think that the last word in utility was written when the Mercedes-Benz W123 series was released. Long after the nuclear apocalypse, there will be cockroaches, rats, pelicases and the MB123.

This I like.

Most certainly PH acceptable (Garlick would approve) and Doris would be equally happy perched behind the wheel.
