TVRs were like that. Relying on electric door releases on a car with such a dodgy electrical system really is asking for trouble. I remember a motoring reporter getting trapped inside one of the very first Cerberas during a test drive when the car ground to a halt (as TVRs inevitably do) and he couldn't open the door from the inside. My mate's Chimaera would periodically not react to pressing the electric door release cleverly (or stupidly, depending on your point of view) hidden in the door mirror though he never actually got trapped inside it.
