Driving a Zagato Zele electric car flat out, four-up. How fast can we go?
Zagato has created some fantastically valuable and desirable cars over the years, but when things turned sour for the Italian company in the early seventies, it decided to do something radical, and that was to introduce a tiny plastic-bodied electric car.
Called the Zele, production lasted for almost two decades, with around 3000 examples sold. The Isle of Man Motor Museum owns one of the earliest surviving examples and here we take it out, four-up, to see what she’ll do.
Spoiler alert: it isn’t fast…
