Not very reliable though, in my experience.Loved these and still a very pretty car.View attachment 123152
Anyone else find it a bit scary that in the time the MC12 has been around an adult has grown?!
A real off piste choice, sort of like and dislike at the same time but certainly on the cooler side of the wallView attachment 123153
Here’s mine.
Of course forgot you had one. Such a pretty car though Ewan.Not very reliable though, in my experience.

Here’s mine.
So pretty Ewan (the car that is ;-) ) I take it you don’t have it anymore ?
Correct - I sold it about 3 years ago. Very pretty, and fun to drive. But horribly unreliable, with difficult parts availability and no mechanics in the UK with any experience of them. I had to take it back to Nantes (France) to be fixed by the people that used to work at the factory. Though that was also a good opportunity to thrash it around the private race track they built there, the Circuit D'Atlantique (after which the car was named).So pretty Ewan (the car that is ;-) ) I take it you don’t have it anymore ?

Go to the circuit. There's a race car company there, and you can hire cars to take around the track. It's run by ex-Venturi staff.I'm in Nantes for the weekend

The original owner of mine was Mr Rausing (of TetraPak fame), who was the richest person in the U.K. at that time. He probably wasn’t so bothered about repair bills!Would imagine parts would be an issue over here as not many sold back in the day. Respect for having one though Ewan. I did test drive the earlier example before buying my Esprit.
