Is 999 a magic number for compliance issues?
I thought that 1,000 cars per year marked the boundary for low-volume type approval, but it looks like I'm wrong, according to this:
https://www.vehicle-certification-a...proval/national-type-approval-in-the-uk/the type approval limit is 1500, which would explain why you read they are looking to go to 1400.
Either way, I still think that keeping the model range as small as possible makes sense for MMC - although having said that a Plus Four 4 seater would be nice!
