[Waiter]

These are really growing on me, especially since the disappointment of the 'launch of which we are not allowed to speak'.

Genuinely exciting 'real-world' performance figures and a very pretty car which seems to have been properly sorted by the factory. That lime green really works well, I think.

looks nice ...if only they could do a RHD version and send them back over here

[Pinnacle]

They are doing RDH I think, just cant send DIRECT into UK, but they can drive in from other parts ....... then title yourselves ........

[F.C.]

Should be able to get one built and imported to Eire for around £80k all in.
I think realisticaly £80k is pushing it a bit.

[bogie]

mmm....didnt realise the £80K bit ...was thinking they would be £60K ish still

According to the Rossion site a complete Q1 with install is about $103,000 USD. So that would be about 63K.

Yes if you wanted it in the US.....to get to the UK you need - shipping, insurance, import duty, VAT and SVA test - then the usual registration and road tax. Last time I look around at least a further 35% of the original purchase price (excluding any modifications required for the SVA test).

Will be over £85k by the time you have the car delivered.....could have been below £70k when the rate was 2:1.

Still not convinced by the looks.

But if you are US side, it looks a very attractive proposition!
