They are cuter, and more reliable than a V8 though

In terms of public transport, if the UK had a system like the one in Amsterdam, I would use it, however we don't so I don't, but in any event I would rather walk everywhere than drive a ZT 260, or indeed a 75 V8.....the Biro is a cute little thing, everything the 260 is certainly not

The two Rover 75 V8's currently for sale in Holland both cost less than the top model Biro, go further than 40 km, and a tad faster than 45kph.

That's why there are not "zillions", but 300 of them in Amsterdam.
That'll be 300 more "cars" than Rover then

You can take it from me, they appeared to be everywhere, so how do we arrive at a figure of 300 then?

They have something similar to the ant cars over here - voiture sans permis. limited to 30mph, and an utter pita when encountered on the roads. They usually have dinks on every panel, and are driven by people who are incapable of passing a driving test or who are habitual drunks.

Dont worry Bri. We won’t make you ride in one. Not yet anyway.
