i also note that everyone is over looking the road tax you will have to pay for the new rs!well thats one reason it would put my off paying 400+a year for taxing the bloody thing leg alone fuel and running costs

Thats not correct. The road tax is £265 (taken directly from the order form). I think the fuel economy will be relative to how its driven. If you use the horses they need to be fed. Anyway, we're not here for a long time so may as well have a good time!!
