Something to do with the cost of parts and the delays, apparently if they are damaged it can take weeks and the insurance company has to fork out for a hire car.
Does that sound true? I've never heard it before.
He was also muttering about the cost of tyres.

Yes, they are Group 49 or 50, but then what do you expect for a car with 450 bhp, or 500 bhp ( £1500 software download for the extra 50) and a 0-60 of 3.7 seconds?
Yes, the slow availability of parts is also true.
NFU don't want them, so £1000 a year plus £1000 excess.
LV and Direct line charge the same as an equivalent ICE car.

One report I read said that the "equivalent MPG is 127: not sure how that is derived. .
