The car at the show was a disappointment and displayed precisely as shown in the photograph earlier in this thread. I thought that it might be finished! Apart from a chassis which looked OK, there was a body shell made in an infilled type of GRP giving a enlarged wall thickness. The red finish was not good, the plastic windows were approximate in size and fit and no mention of a glass screen. The rear arch shape bore little relation to the wheels. Indeed the rear wheels were literally just plonked into position. They looked like it too.
The cars appears to being partially made in Italy and to be completed in the UK in order to get "type approval".
The price would appear to be about $100k in the UK (the first one is sold!) but what it will be like on the day is anybodies guess. There is still a huge way to go before it can really be understood in any meaningful way.
As I said...not for me, thanks.
