And I bet that half of the people who ride in it have no clue what it is.

I bet almost nobody knows what it is or the significance of it is.

Well it caused a huge scandal when it was launched, so I think any Brits over a certain age will know what it is.

True though that’s a very small number of specific type of person for a car in the U.S. :)

Wait, they’re legal now though! ‘90-’92! Now to find one. Oh, and some money.

One more year and it’ll be legal! I’m super jealous you got to see one in person.

It is legal! 2500 miles per year.

Two things: 1.) I really, really want one of these. On my top ten list for sure. 2.) Why would a dealership use this as a chauffeur car? Wouldn’t fuel and maintenance be terribly expensive for a 20 year old British performance sedan, even if it is only covering a couple thousand miles puttering around town?

I didn’t mean actual chauffeur car haha. It belongs to a friend and that was our ride for used car shopping.

Oh haha nice! After the twenty five year limit passes, can he get it registered as a normal driver? And how do they check the 2500 mile limit? It would drive me crazy to keep track of such a number, especially if I had such a great machine like this to meander around...
