The Peel P50 was never meant to burn rubber. First produced by Peel Engineering in 1962 on the Isle of Man, it was built to be a city commuter’s dream—made for ferrying “one adult and a shopping bag” through London’s congested streets. With Lilliputian dimensions (54 x 41 x 48 inches) and a weight to match (130 pounds), the P50 makes a Smart car seem like a tank: The three-wheeled, 4.2-horsepower ride topped out at 43 mph. Peel Engineering ended production of the P50 in 1965, after building only 50 of the autos. But a recent resurgence, thanks to a trio of British businessmen, has brought a limited number of Peels back to the blacktop. Today’s P50 mirrors the original, with its boxy shape and micro size, but it’s available with an eco-friendly 4.2-hp electric motor that can shove this snail all the way to 50 mph. Don’t get too excited though: On roads in the UK and EU, the P50 is legally limited to a less-blazing 28 mph.
