Speaking of cardboard, there was a flurry of pedal-powered solo "cars" in the late 1940's from Scandinavia IIRC, a feature in Automobile magazine showed a good example, super light frame and thin-skin birch ply. Wouldn't fancy crossing "the Bridge" in one though...have to put it on the train that runs beneath the road deck.
Battery storage depends on ever decreasing rare earth metals and IMHO pedal (assisted?) power has to be the personal transport for the future but someone will have to sort out the railways first!
Yes, the Punch Bowl was better, a couple of Frog-eye Sprites, early-ish Minis, a 1936 Riley, a couple of P-type MGs, a Daimler Dart, assorted modern Morgans, 2 Pembletons, and a 1960's Chevy surf wagon. A lot of what I would call moderns but obviously their mothers, I mean owners love them...
How was Harewood Malcolm?
