A perfect two finger salute to the net zero nonsense.

This beauty won't have done too much environmental harm at less than 1,000 miles a year since new!

Ah Stratton Motor Company.....
They do dodgy MOTs for their mates, you know. Or more accurately, husbands of one of their employees!

Not good as they are portraying themselves as some kind of high class motor company.

BTW the above is not an accusation, I have cast-iron proof sitting in my garage!

Sorry, off topic. Yes the AM is very nice, just not from them.

Don't mistake me as some kind of environmentalist, I'm not.

But I think 'net zero nonsense' is a little off point.

I get it - we all love engines, I drive a Taycan and absolutely would prefer it to be an ICE Taycan - but 'net zero' isn't nonsense!

Don't worry, I'll go and grab my tin hat...

Used to drive past them every day when I worked in Norwich.

Doesn't JayEmm on cars have some kind of affiliation with them?

I nearly bought one of these, they look so much better than they drive!

XAlp · 03-29-2024, 07:48 AM

They do look ace

I enquired about this “conversion” car once, it was £450k. I guess originals are truly money no object…

A friend of mine has one in white, which is a terrible colour choice. Needs a respray. He's had it fettled - suspension, exhaust.. - and it's a really lovely machine.

Yes with a bit of tweaking they can be made to drive better, but its still to slow, its still drives like a parker knoll sits and I find the interiors dreadful from this time stamp!

It is a damn fine looking machine though, especially in that Casino Royale colour!
