World's Smallest Car is Back

You might remember this car from a certain episode of TopGear, where Jeremy drives it through the offices of the BBC. And into an elevator, as a picture from this gallery will remind you.
It's called the Peel P50 and it boasts the title of the official Smallest Car in the World. Designed and originally built between 1962 and 1965, only 50 P50s were ever made. Using a 49cc, two-stroke engine, they were a symbol of 1960s minimalism.
But now, it is back in production. The exhumed Peel brand will make another 50 special editions of the P50, available in petrol and electric versions. And now, only nine are left.
That's right, if you have $10,371 (and a couple extra grand to import it to Australia), you can have one of these final few for yourself.
Click through this gallery for more details of the P50 - and to meet its strange-looking brother, the Trident (the car pictured above) which is also back in production.
