I think the importer is based in Iver, just off the M25.

Why anyone would buy one at that price is just beyond me.

I actually quite like that, very Marcos-esque (mind you I suppose the Marcos came later) - but if you described that to me over the phone, I'd have thought that would look a lot worse than that.

What I like about this is the tremendous thought and care the designers have gone to in order to ensure the cab zone flows seamlessly into the pickup. It doesn’t look like they shortened a saloon and welded it to another vehicle at all.
