May be due to features such as "radar following" of the car in front? Certainly never experienced any rocking sensation in our EV Audis, nor is it difficult to keep a steady/constant speed. In fact, quite the contrary. There are no gears, so it's completely smooth power delivery at all times...

Nice in green. A very lovely daily/commuting car. Keep a sonorous V8 or V12 ICE along with it for weekend use, and you'll have a fabulous combination.

That's not Ronnie Peterson. It's Keith Chegwin.

I suspect Emblem in Poole will be your nearest true Maserati specialist. There’s not a well recognised one near Bath/Bristol.

Lots of manufacturers make crazy track specials in very low, limited numbers for their ardent fans. Be that Lambo, Ferrari, Aston, McLaren, Bugatti etc., and they all sell out instantly. So why not Alpine. The A110R at circa £95k is about as good a road-and-track car as you can buy in the U.K...

Don’t worry Phil. The likes of you and I won’t be on the invite list to buy one of these! Nothing wrong with the base model anyway. Especially not when a sensible mileage second hand one can be had for mid GBP 30’s.

BYD (Chinese brand of EV’s) has overtaken Tesla as the biggest supplier. Tesla has the problem of boring and aging designs, with nothing new coming to tempt buyers. China is bringing in new models and at lower prices, so sells more. So as usual, it’s not rocket science, it’s just common sense...

What era of QP are you considering? A QP VI should have lower running costs than a QP V. As would a good QP IV (but those are hard to find). As others have said, buy the best you can find/afford in the first place, and have a PPI by a Maserati specialist. You certainly should have years when...

It's one from his series of anti-war piccies, showing a young girl holding a bomb. Can't remember the name from the top of my head, but maybe Bomb Love (or something similar to that).

If your Maserati starts, it’s a car. If it doesn’t, it’s a work of art. And by that definition, currently my Urraco is a work of art (at Emblem Gallery in Poole).

Art is very personal - what is attractive and interesting to one person can mean nothing to the next. I bought a Banksy at the most recent auction of his work, though am yet to have it framed and hung. Instantly recognisable by virtually everyone, and a good talking point when people see it. If...

Looks completely normal. Much like a Fiesta (especially in that light blue colour). MG are certainly on the charge, giving everyday people the everyday they car they want, at a low price and will a decent warranty. No wonder the MG is the best selling new car in the U.K. currently.

True. 149,000 will be EV SUV’s. Maybe 1000 will be sports cars. Which begs the question, when is a Lotus, not a Lotus?

The wires power it. Hence it stops if you disconnect the car battery (or if the car battery goes flat).

Lovely car. But how can Lotus make a loss of nearly £600M last year, on a turnover of about £530M and a record number of car sales (nearly 7000)? The boss claims they’ll sell 150,000 cars a year by 2028. So at least he has a sense of humour.
