Car models are usually not my thing but some of these could tempt me:

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/).

Is it just me or does the 'dome' on the Peel Trident look like a bomb-aimer's bubble taken from a Lancaster?

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

 The Trident is a pretty nifty little bus, but sweet baby Cthulhu! They are mighty proud of their work...

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.
