<The car was rapidly embraced by the UK’s automotive intelligentsia. Master engineer Gordon Murray started driving a Launch Edition to work. Rock star car collector Nick Mason bought one and so did ex-Autocar TV pundit James May.>


Who else?

Do motoring journalists count?

If so:

Dan Prosser (sold it for a Golf)
Steve Cropley

I'm sure Colin Goodwin will buy one soon

Good catch Philip, indeed I had forgotten these two. Although i think there is a difference: Dan P bought it himself with his own money, whilst I think Steve C is running it as a long termer, suspect a loan.

I watched all videos of Dan P about his car, he so adores it. I really value him as a journalist, no non-sense approach. I remember him saying about the paddle shifts and when he 1st drove the prototype he did not like the click. Engineers took his comment on board and changed the paddle shifting to suit.

Colin Goodwin? That i did not know.

would be good to see pictures / evidence of that (Mr Bean A110).

Another really interesting one is @fanchracing on instagram who runs 250 GTO, 2x McL F1, Chiron S/S...

He calls it 'the best sportcars you can buy today, money no object. Full stop'.
