Beautiful

I'd probably get an Atom for the same money, and neither would lose much, but you wouldn't risk using such a classic to the extreme. More of a posing car I'd have thought.

You'd have to be nuts to spend that sort of money on a plastic kit-car replica. It doesn't even look right.

Lovely car but those rear seats just look wrong, its as if he thought I know lets add them once the car was already built.

£39,000 oooooh a little bit too strong for me

Saw one of these years ago at a Garage.

The guy pulled out onto the road, gave it part throttle and nearly lost it. Bone dry summer day too. Makes any TVR look like a girls car.

I think that might rate as a nice idea on paper but utterly bloody terrifying in reality.

Very nice, sat on my bucket list. I just couldn't imagine being able to use a soft top in this country on a regular basis - do they do a removable hard-top

Default Move over scoobs, 61 year old saloon coming thru!

Make an offer on this AC. Surely the ultimate sleeper.

or if that's too subtle then sell your house and live in this:

I think I must live in the wrong area of the country. I'd need to sell several houses to get that second one
