  A Grand Monday: Sinclair C5 16 Jul 2018 (News)
  Marketed as a ‘personal vehicle’, the C5 is classed as an engineless tricycle, which means you don’t need a license to drive one, nor does it need to be taxed or MoT’d. You simply lower yourself into the cockpit, get to grips with the contortionist-friendly hands-under-your-bum ‘driving’ position and off you go… This example isn’t immaculate – the vendor is quite upfront about that – but it’s also only £350 and comes with a complete spare bodyshell, should the crack in the front bodywork bother you.

  Hidden Heroes: BMW 318ti Compact 15 Nov 2019 (News)
  A smaller hatchback variant of the E36 was always part of the plan, but it would be three years after the saloon model made its debut that it was ready for production, using the rear-drive E36 platform with a shortened body. It uses the same wheelbase and Z-link rear axle, but the shorter, lighter body made it feel somewhat edgier and less balanced than the saloon, while the rear-drive layout also had a negative impact on packaging - the Compact may have been an upmarket and fun-to-drive hatch, but it was expensive for what it was and suffered from extremely cramped rear legroom.  Those things aside, though, it was a decent performer and an extremely well-finished car.

This gives a better fuel efficiency rating when driving with the combustion engine cruising on the highway. Via a 40kW generator the battery can also be charged to give the car increased range on electricity alone.
