I think one of the joys of the ser 1 roadster was that mmc had obviously really done their homework well and everything was perfect, all the electronics had been perfected and even the position of the gear lever was exactly right. I exclude the silly nylon front bushes of course! And the noise it didn't make.

Ps someone at the top told me that Charles was against the 3w until he drove one of the protos and then he was all for it.
