The Peel Trident 1965 looks like it was inspired by Hanna-Barbera Productions "The Jetson's" animated comics from way back then.
All that is missing is that signature Jetson's flying car sound (http://soundfxcenter.com/download-sound/jetsons-car-sound-effect/).

Probably. Early sixties, a lot of military surplus available at prices that would have been enticing for quick purchase.

Too bad. Still, stuck in rush-hour traffic, you could peer through that flat windscreen bit and imagine the tail lights in front were really the pathfinder flares leading you to Hamburg ... "Bombs gone!" ;)

Have Hasegawa BMW Isetta & Messerschmidt ... need a Heinkel (Trojan). May add the Peel to help the group along.

Even in 1/24 both of those will be tiny!
