BMW is pretty serious I’d say, as is Nissan. For the most part though, most of the industry is really just talking about it, with a converted model or two, but that’s more than it was. Electric cars are on the horizon, they weren’t to any meaningful capacity 7 years ago.

I honestly can’t think of anything worse than for one of the big three to buy the company that got the industry to take electric cars seriously.

Did the classic car club of manhattan get one in the end? They were pushing for one as I recall

I don’t know how often he drives it, but (prepare for the cliché) “life’s too short to drive boring cars”, so all props to raph

And that doesn’t sound like an excuse to you?

I so don’t want this to effect my chances of buying it, but whatever chances they were have dropped significantly. If you’d just bought a new car, regardless of price, and the front fender came off at 50mph, that’s an issue.

I don’t even know why I hit nice price, I saw an old Volvo estate, and I hit the buy button without checking the price. Isn’t that how all hipster stuff is bought anyway?

It still looks so fresh... That thing will be remembered a long time, definitely worthy of Aston Martin’s history books.

Black is my favourite colour for a Miura, it’s not very common but it looks like a weapon

I daily drove my 1971 Lancia Fulvia last summer, that was a thrill. Allas, it would have returned to the dirt before this summer if I’d driven it throughout the bad seasons. I have a Citroen 2cv to abuse during months like those. The way I see it, if you’re going to have one car to save another, make sure you can…

Does it ever explain the nipples? I’ve never thought to throw my nipples in harms way should I ever encounter a potential accident, but perhaps that’s where I’ve gone wrong. I shall use them t0 better effect in the future!

Nope, mint green, light blue, cream, even the colour scheme is a shameless callback! I do like the car in a number of ways, there hasn’t been such a brazen retro production car in a while (Ladas and Landys don’t count, they just forgot to stop making those a long time ago). As said though, the Pao is more appealing to…

Yeah, that one’s probably cooler to me. You see Figaros all the time in London, and they’re little more than pretend sports cars for middle aged women. The Pao is much rarer, and more adventurous to me, some of the design details are to die for!

Personally, I’d want that garage hidden behind a false wall in the batman garage. Because I love a functional workspace, but you need a gallery to put the cars in when you’re not underneath them.

Indeed, the sentiment in Britain at the moment is that we no longer feel as entitled to call you guys morons, as we seem to have made complete idiots of ourselves now. Until you vote Trump into office that is, then all will be back to normal.

I can’t speak for American sales, only for British ones. And here, they’re definitely still viewed as a countryside runabout. The vast majority of its buyers here are middle class rural families. It never made a serious impact on the G55 amg crowd of central London.

Nah, I’ve lived in London and the countryside for my entire life. Chelsea tractors are far more often Range Rovers, G Wagens, Cayennes, X5s, etc... Defenders are an occasional sight on the streets of central london, but by far and away the most common place to see them are in the countryside, where they’re everywhere.…

True, I restored a series 3 a few years ago, and I’m by no means a professional. They’re simple as heck to put together. A defender in kit form would be a brilliant project.

That worked I think mainly because there was a gap in the market where there were more people who wanted them then there were actual cars lying around. Pretty much like the original Cobra too. But there are millions of Defenders already out there.

That was my first guess, but a low volume defender would be a terrible business idea. Who’s going to buy a car at low volume prices when over a million of them exist on the used market? Hopefully he simply figures out how to kick off the production line again, without the actual factory/company that did it in the…
