As a work of art it looks fantastic. I owned a silver one and had the windows blacked out. It looked very futuristic and like it was doing 200 mpg even at standstill.
General Comments
As an ornament its great, in the real world it was a nightmare. It was a pig to park and you just couldn't leave it unattended for long because of the curiosity it caused. Being 6'5" the car was very cramped and the seats were so narrow my legs would go dead after about 40 minutes. I could have probably lived with the discomfort, but not with the unreliability and cost of repairs. Within less than 4000 miles of driving it, I had to replace a clutch (£3,500), Hydraulics (£600), Filters (£500), Gearbox (£9,000) and tyres (£800). In less than 2 years the car dropped £30,000 in value. Add insurance costs £2,500, fuel bills (about 9mpg) and the fact that I had to hire a garage to protect it from idiots, I was glad to see the back of it. I had only 2 days of fun owning this car, the day I bought it and the day I sold it. This car is better to admire on a poster than it is owning one...
