Forgot about how BMW announced the build of the not-green electric cars.

I can assure everyone that the only electric propulsion bit about Betty is the ignition system.

Very poorly written article, someone was obviously told to fart out a few lines about something to fill a page and they managed to do so without saying anything.

'sides, I think that is a 1961, not a 1959

The problem is in the reporting, not the car itself, It is reported elsewhere in the main stream as a late model classic mini......................

Mini's are like buses they come along in a bunch

Georgia registered no title issued on older vehicles BOS only, i guess they call it whatever year they like.

If in doubt, flat out. Colin Mc Rae MBE 1968-2007.

Give a car more power and it goes faster on the straights,
make a car lighter and it's faster everywhere. Colin Chapman.

Great marketing stunt, but they're teasing a "show car" that still wouldn't meet U.S. DOT safety standards since 1967. 

That doesn't make me want an electric BINI at all...
