Berkeley Cars Ltd out of Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, England had a short run of low-priced sporty microcars starting back in 1956 and ultimately ending in bankruptcy in 1960. Unfortunately, the company was just starting to get their formula of front-wheel-drive motorcycle powered fiberglass things with cars like the Sports SE492 when their main business (building Glass-reinforced plastic "caravans") when belly up. Luckily, you can get a basket case Berkeley for cheap and you can even find examples that have reliable engine swap from a Japanese sport bike. Find this
1958 Berkeley SE492 offered for $6900 in Morgan Hill, CA via craigslist.
