Wow. That is great news. Where did you find them? From what I understood they'd gone to someone who planned to put the Biota on the market as a golf cart.
Is your early car the aluminium bodied prototype? I have a colour picture of that car (it was lime green) on the show stand at Olympia that you might find interesting.

Putting 2 and 2 together, I guess the Biota on display at Detling was one of those? |
