I wouldn't mind one of the old Saab 92's - 2 cylinder 2-stroke engines,
3-speed gearbox and a freewheel assembly to stop the engine exploding during
overrun. I like quirky tech, so long as it's simple to work with...
(Or get something early 70s - by chance one of my Triumphs ended in '512K'
which always seemed nice and computery ;)
