Came out last year, just saw my first one trolling through Bath. Had a quick Google and it says a little over 300 have been sold in the UK.

Seems a fast and resonably cheap electric roadster wasn't as popular as some thought (hello Porsche).

It does look pretty funky though.

I've seen a few on the road now. I don't think it looks as good in the metal as in pictures... possibly because pictures disguise the sheer size of the thing.

Funnily enough I saw a Silver one coming through Farrington Gurney yesterday. Wonder if one and the same ?

My mate test drove one last week strangely enough. I've never heard of it let alone seen one in the flesh. It's challenging to look at but he was blown away at the performance.

One was at work this morning on charge. Looked quite good in the flesh.

If they're the ones with the pointy arrow rear lamps and no easily spotted badge on the back I saw one last week.

I assumed it was one of these and TBH I wasn't interested enough to have a closer look and I had something I needed to get done.

Race home to put up another pointless post on PH?

I saw a yellow one like the one above last week. I think it may be the dealer demo car in Sedgley. It didn’t look awful. Those doors though are a bit cack.

I saw one in Manchester city centre a couple of months ago. Volvo lights on the back of them.

I saw one and I until I spotted the badge I honestly though it was an Aston.

I’ve seen one on the road. Front looked good I thought. An advert has popped up this morning for one…£4100 deposit & £699 for 3 years. Nigh on £30k to rent one of these seems a dear do. It was a business contract so I’m guessing the vat will be reclaimed but still a chunk of change.

I saw one in the flesh for the first time today. Didn't look too bad and not as bulky-looking as I expected.

I'd like to see one alongside another 2-seater sports car.

Metallic red one near me looks good, havent had a look at the interior or driven it but first impression was something semi exotic.

I think I've seen 5 of them in total now, and I saw 2 in yellow recently as well. I wouldn't actually mind a go in one to see what they're like.

It's pretty much bang-on the same size as a Jaguar F-Type in all dimensions (I saw them parked next to each other at work recently), although the Cyberster looks somehow a bit more... bulky.

I contemplated buying one last year. However, the 'Lambo' doors put me off. Instead, I bought an f-type convertible.

Had the MG had regular doors I would have been sorely tempted.

There was one at the Car Limits day at North Weald Airfield I was at on Monday, he went home at lunch as it had dropped to 50% battery and was reducing it's power output.

Silly quick in a straight line, but it looked to struggle in the tighter parts...I was faster by .6 around the whole course in my 20 year old Honda.

Red one parked up just down the road from us.

Looks decent to my eyes.

Didn't have quite the wow factor I thought it would but I’m not a roadster person

Seen two now. They look really nice.
