It's got some interesting bits on - iirc Autocar did some timings of this

Would be interesting if you could find them, I've never seen them before.

I will look it out

Meanwhile, you've no doubt seen this

It was in an annual 0-100-0 feature

It's at the bottom but not a bad time

My wife had one of these when I met her.

Much nicer than I'd have previously given it credit for. Phenomenal brakes, the suspension was nice, great seats, quite quick, and great economy.

She got any sisters still available?

Thing is do you need such phenomenal brakes? It's almost not enough to warrant them unless they're needed to stop the derv block above them.

Looks fun. Looks overpriced. Looks like you should go into buying one with your eyes open RE consumables and fully behind wanting to pay the premium for the additional spec.

how much are replacement front discs and pads ?

This is one of the major drawbacks of the brakes, we are looking at £500 minimum for the parts alone.
