It is. Theres a Toyota Starlet somewhere underneath all of that. Once this "skateboard" palaver for EV's gets off the ground, lets hope there are some more interesting specials courtesy of the return of the coachbuilder. That Sera is frightingly bonkers! Of course the doors may be ultra reliable, always work and never leak :-D

Bonhams Bicester Auction 21st March 2020 £4,000 to £6,000 estimate no reserve.

No response at all! Is that because it isn't obvious or because nobody's bothered? Is a clue called for? :)

That is an excellent observation Bobins but, in order to prolong this, which station and where is the camera? :-D

As a complete stab in the dark - plucking numbers out of the sky kinda thing - I'd say the camera was in car number 31 :-D
