Roadster to be at 2008 British auto show.

Good find. Thanks.

So it would appear VP18 is nestling amongst the "Ultimate Collection" whilst this white one* is holding fort in the "Electric Village". Both bases covered.

*I thought this was VP4 again but VP4 didn't have orange seat inserts at Goodwood.

My baby :smile:




I had to do a double take on this one...

May still be VP4. They've changed the seats of other cars a few times.

OK, so it was VP4.

EVs were everywhere at the show. I mean everywhere. Every manufacturer was showing either an EV, hybrid or FCV.

I've collated the best shots here: The Electric Car Arrives - Quicker than you'd think - a set on Flickr

I spoke with Mr Chris "Lightning GT" Dell for some time and as you can see, got an exclusive look inside the car. No one else was allowed this. It is stunning, and that prototype has the best build quality of any car I have seen, bar none.

The Fiat e500 should sell by the bucket load too, but it is a bit pricey all the same.

Oh and Simon Rochefort is a top, top guy.

Full report later, it's way past my bedtime.

Sounds like it was a great show. Can't wait for the full report.
