It's the car Goldmember drove in Austin Powers :-)

The Austin EV club has a lady that owns a yellow one she calls 'tweety '. I saw her at the Austin EV show last weekend.
She and her husband just bought a Volt, so she might part with it.

That orange one has been on Ebay a few times, always lacking more info on the vehicle condition.

I drove one a few years back and they are really nice cars, I would buy one if I had the money, no reason that it could not be used as a main vehicle year round for most people.
