I remember that test. I can't remember if something fell off or not, but I remember Hammond replaying the bit where the rear end snapped back inline and Clarkson bumped his head on the a-pillar quite hard.

They were 80k+ new, 911s were similar price, TVRs were half the price, basically their market was for people with more money than sense

As rare and unusual as they are, they are just not worth it.

They dont really do anything well.

Not a practical every day sports car.
Not got 4 proper seats
Not got decent storage space
Not even got xenons
Not the fastest accelerating
Not really that great handling
Not really that rapid compared to proper cars
Not built well

Id have one for £25k, but if people thought ZT260's were a lot of hassle and trouble.... SV's are another dimension, and for little reward really.

(IMO of course)
