I rather like it's eccentricity. Is that the wobbly version of what powers EV's ? Yes, the overall look too. Would go down brilliantly at our local cars and coffees, with my accent wearing my Biggles attire would be the crowning glory. Agree that it is not a practical vehicle for touring but I don't think that is what it is built for.

Whereas the entire thing is a bit campy looking, like something from an amusement park ride, I do really like the seats. I can't see if those are four or five point seat belts, but those also look legit. Although our current 3 point seat belts are far easier to ignore if you are simply tootling around the neighborhood. EDIT: Richard, I typed up my note before seeing your post. Looks like we are of the same mind.

They look like 4 point - from my experience, with the different height fixings for the shoulder straps, they'd probably be quite uncomfortable.

I imagine it would be very uncomfortable once you pull that ejection seat lever. I can't really see where they have packed the parachut, but I'm sure it is simply hidden behind the seat.
