Two Teslas, an i8, a Leaf and a Kia, proper car looking one, not one of the usual bricks.
Most likely another EV6.

How about this one.

Might as well see it in action from your link. Always encouraging to see start-ups in the UK giving it a go.

I am not overly encouraged by the hype about entering the US market but hey ho, maybe DeLorean was a blip.

Kia gray thing, Tesla S x 2, Leaf x 2.

I am encouraged that the body monocoque is made by Ibex which came from John Foers IBEX

Which came after the Nomad, which is one of the few Mini based cars I really wanted but never got

I refer you to my earlier post today, you might be able to scratch your itch for a lot less:

I also fancied one of these at the time

but LOML didn't want her Mini Clubman Estate molested.

##Like this

She eventually persuaded me she wanted one of these.

So I bought 2 of them from a Fish House in Aberdeen - they couldn't trade them back in for some unknown reason?

I completely gutted them - pun intended - and double valeted them until there was no trace of the original aromas.

I sold one to a customer who was delighted to get such a car so cheap!

I gave the other one to wife.

That meant her car cost me NOTHING! other than hours and hours scrubbing everything I could reach and spraying everything I couldn't.

At that point in time it was a fairly new car and started her on the trail of only settling for new cars and not the offerings I normally acquired.

Her next car was an upgraded Micra in white, then a one year old Picanto then a brand new Rio 1.5 diesel.

This would look suspiciously like A Renault Zoe in LNJ aka violet/blueberry/aconite

Wingfield Station Derbyshire got the treatment on The Architecture the Railways built, although have to admit, I dont see any architectural merit in it at all although historically one of the earliest surviving railway station buildings, and in a pretty derelict state.

Still is worthy of a mention on this thread as the picture selected for the wiki article on the station has abandoned in front of it, a Harbilt electric vehicle. Wonder where it was built

What constitutes Historic still puzzles me. More so when someone tries to save an item and is hamstrung in bureaucracy hell bent on nonsense.

The porters at my wife's hospital used to have such an Electric Van. The height of all the docking platforms at all the separate buildings/wards were set to the height of it's floor, which was absolutely no use for virtually every other van or ambulance that used them. It had no heater so transferring patients was an operation that required great speed and coordination in the winter. There were not any securing straps originally either - cue Carry On Nurse. The porters would occasionally be seen coming into a ward with an empty trolley with a big sheet over it and then leaving with the same trolley but no nurse escort. Unfortunately this trip was only one way for the soul on the lower deck.
And so, the porters have continued to this day using this electric van for everything from plumbing emergencies to food trollies, linen bags to "dispatches". The van could well outlast us all.
And the stories the porter's could tell? Maybe another day.
A per a' teef anyone?

The Stracathro Express was a bit like this one but white.
