Great insights! Will it be possible to restore a 50 year old Leaf with NOS electronics or do you think people will be substituting new parts (and even software)?

But the bigger question is: how many people will actually want to restore these? Surely they hold significance as some of the first purpose built BEV's in mass production, but will they gain a following like the Insight or be relegated to the history books like many ICE family cars?
