This car is very similar to the late 1970's vintage Freeway HMV manufactured by HMV (High Mileage Vehicles) in Burnsville, MN. They made 3 models: an electric, and 12HP and 16 HP gas versions. The 12 HP was advertised to get 100 MPG. The electric had a range of about 15 miles and few were made due to the high center of gravity causing them to roll over easily. A total of about 600 vehicles were made over a period of 3 years or so at which time the company went out of business. Many are still around and you occasionally see one on eBay.
I have a 1980 model, 16 HP version and I can attest to them being attention grabbers in the super market parking lot. Be sure you allow time on your trips to answer questions.
As for the NmG, it is way overpriced for what it is. If you have lots of money to burn and are interested in a unique conversation piece, go for it. Also, unless it is much more stable than my Freeway, you'd never catch me going over about 45 MPH in it.
