Though all 18000 examples were officially recalled and scrapped in the 1970s there are a number of examples which are in the British roads today as “historic” vehicles in private ownership.

Having seen some of these up close I think it was basic requirements safety that was the end of them :), they did have some funky features such as to get in you could actually slide the seat towards the door once seated you could slide it back into the central position. They were driven almost exclusively with hand controls, a throttle like a motorbike, handle bars for steering and most amusingly you pushed down on the handle bars to brake.
