Went and saw it last night;
and had a 30 minute ride around the Surrey lanes (as a passenger).
Bloody hell it’s quick.
760kg weight and 150bhp make for rapid acceleration and the noise is just fantastic 🙂
There were #bloodycyclists everywhere though 😉
Really is a fascinating car too, the way that the alloy roof has been rivetted to the steel frame shows it was built purely for competition but with a nod to the FIA homologation rules it has fitted rubber mats.
To illustrate how light it is – you can’t press on the door panels or handles to shut them – it’ll dent the alloy – you have to press on the frame just at the bottom of the (plastic) window glass.
There were some other cars in the ‘blimey, that’s nice’ category there too;
I love yellow E-Types;
the one I’d probably most want to own as a long term thing, I can see myself wafting down to the south of France in this;
these three were ‘ok’ too 😉
