  Surprising and delightful vehicles in Historics 26th November Classic Auction 3 Nov 2016 (News)
  The Zagato Zele was an electric citycar conceived at the time of the mid 1970s oil crisis. (In the UK, motorists were actually issued with reprints of post-war fuel ration books.) The Zele 1000 was based on a modified FIAT 500 floorpan and powered by three 12-volt batteries that could be charged from a domestic socket. This 1974 example has covered a mere 99 kilometres, is UK registered and is offered with new batteries and a mains charger.

  Skoda Fabia vRS (2003-2007) 19 Jun 2016 (News)

Thanks to the 1.9 TDI engine it’s capable of a claimed 53.3mpg on average – a good figure now and an amazingly frugal level for a hot hatch in 2003. If you want one they’re great value still and you can pick up a good one for about £4500 in the classifieds.
