guy at work has one, cost about 12k to buy and have it restored. their shit to drive as you cant see fook all outta em, and they have no power steering so a nightmare in london. front drivers side wing is the most expensive part to replace and cost a small fortune

also their being made again...

A mate of mine has one, cool looking car.......
But slow, poor handling, wank gearbox... So he treated his with a v8 and porsche gearbox
The worst problem with the car is that although it's body is made from stainless... the chassis aint... it rusts like crazy

But still, very cool car

Nope, they are stainless body-panels on a frame. The frame was made from a revolutionary composite..... basically plasticized steel (is this translated right ??). The problem is, the plastic dry's out and cracks.... and then the steel starts to rust away...

edit: just looked it up, the frame is steel covered in some kind of resin.

Absolute load of wank, he promised the earth then delivered a completely shite "sports" car at the end of it.

Still cool for some reason though, and Id still have one if I won the lottery
