Fair play, that's a batst thing. 5s to 60 in 1969 must have been something. Love the fact they had to fit what looks like military radar because you can't see behind at all, and you can't reach to shut the canopy when you're in the seat. I wonder if the one off is still around.

This is a rather poor quality video of this car's predecessor being driven.

It feels a bit like this should be part of a series called "when non-experts design things", including the James May video that came up next on YouTube where it took him an hour's work to get at his Tesla's flat 12V battery (i.e. the one that powers the opener for the compartment it's stored in) and access it for charging.
