It has been claimed that in the future we will all be driving electric cars but a box-like attempt from the 1970s has now emerged for sale.

Made by legendary Italian coachbuilders Zagato, the Zele 2000 was conceived in the midst of a fuel crisis in the 1970s.

The quirky motor is powered by a 2,000cc electric motor and has a range of just 50 miles.

Just a few hundred were ever made making them incredibly rare in today's market.
