The 1950s Isetta

The currentMicrolino 2.0bears an uncanny resemblance to the Isetta (and will soon hit the European streets), but I simply want the ULTRA-CUTE original brought back to life.

The 1982 Dodge Rampage

A pick-up truck with a cool convertible vibe? I’m sold.

The 1972 Reliant Regal Supervan III

Yes, I know, it’s the weird three-wheeler fromOnly Fools and Horses, but why shouldBack to the Futurehave all the fun?

The 1970s Opel Manta

Okay, Opel has already built its electric version, theOpel Manta GSe ElektroMOD. The problem is, it’s just a showcase concept car — and that ISN’T ENOUGH.

The 1980 TVR Tasmin

Its front kinda looks like Donald Duck’s beak, but the TVR Tasmin was an impressive machine for its time.With a powerful engine capable of going 0-60mph in just five seconds, it’s the sort of car David Hasselhoff would solve crimes in.

Are there any classic cars you’d like to see electrified? Then let us know — and we’ll feature the best in a follow-up story. You can email me or tweet usright here.
