Didn't they only sell a handful of those in this country?

I remember Clarkson rejecting the idea that the motoring press had much influence on car sales, becoz he had always raved about the GTA, but Renault had only sold 5 or 6 of them in the UK.

I've always wanted one. This year I spotted an A610 in one of the camp sites at le mans. I got talking to the owner, who said

very quick, but very unreliable. The main problme seemed to be the heat. The car is almost mid engined, and the computer control unit (situated between the rear seats) gets too hot- so he undid the cover, and had the electrics hanging out in the cockpit.

I still like 'em though, in the same way as I like the Wedge Lagonda V8...

whatever

Funnily enough, I saw a couple in Basingstoke weekend before last. One was parked up, so I had a good opportunity for a peek inside.
