That would be a great idea.. although I rarely see those come up for sale. I did see a guy with an old English 3 speed when I bought my folder, but I don't think it had a dynohub.
For that matter, I could just use the 3 speed for my primary transportation if I found one. Most of my hills aren't that bad. My old "mountain" bike with road bike gearing is good enough for most of the hills around here.
