I wonder if they actually run this thing. Looks almost square:eek:; that is, track nearly same as WB, making the thing very difficult, if not dangerous, to drive at speed. Might be OK for show, or drive slowly in demo, but not so sure for anything else.

I owned a '55 Morris Minor when I lived in England and it had very good road-holding!

A few more English "first's" -

Reducing unsprung weight to the point of failure - Lotus
The pinnacle of overly complicated engineering - Jaguar V12 engine
