Really want one of these as always loved the look and stance of this car.
I'm not an engineer so excuse my ignorance here. Is there risk of delamination or whatever material degradation process the carbon tub goes through in UK type weather (would keep car on driveway all year round)?
Would repeated high G loads from hard use cause material fatigue? I'm presuming the front and rear suspension components are bolted onto the tub.

I'd give Jamie Porter at Alfa Works a ring or email, he probably knows as much if not more than the factory about 4C plus he undoubtedly maintains the majority of UK 4C. They race one too so I'm sure he'll be able to reassure you driving one on UK roads will be a safe long term proposition.....I'm not an engineer so excuse my ignorance here.

Really helpful and nice guy too.
