I'm not an AM man, so apologies if this sounds trivial, but was pleasantly surprised to see a Valkyrie driving in London yesterday. Shared the route between M1 Staples Corner all the way down to Swiss Cottage (we then parted ways).

What a spectacle to see! Really was like sharing the road with a Le Mans racer (albeit at 20mph....). Quite a petite car, from the rear it looks relatively non-descript, but other angles were a spectacle.

Kudos to the driver for not being too precious about it too, zoming into gaps in the traffic. Reg was something like "VA11KYR" or something to that effect.

Anyways, slightly made my day so I thought I'd share!

Nice to hear. I've seen one albeit travelling at much higher speed and coming the other way to the direction I was travelling. Also, had the tour arranged by HWM not long after the launch of the car.

It is smaller than expected and not at all practical but as a piece of engineering it is something else.

I wouldn’t want to drive around London in my Vantage let alone in a Valkyrie!

Kudos indeed, but it must have been a bit stressful at times - wonder if the driver parallel parked somewhere too 🤔

I think I saw it at Le Mans on Saturday.
