These images appeared over the weekend on the Lotus Forum. 60's Elan +2.
No idea if the owner had or deployed an extinguisher, but - keep a fire safety stick in your boot folks. Only £70 odds and they really don't take up much space....

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
i presume the “box” behind the roll bars (they’re the seat backs looking again) is the fuel tank? that looks remarkably “whole” compared to everything around it!

I’ve seen 5 G wagon EVs this week. Only recognised by their green plate so there may be more that I’ve dismissed as non EV versions. Kind of surprised at their popularity but they’re also the perfect car for London.
How about not having a sig at all?

Not sure about London, but I love driving the x5 around town, big mirrors and good visibility makes it strangely better than the smaller more responsive cars.

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
G wagens line the streets of certain areas of london, so an EV one that isn’t chucking out the pollution of a big V8 locally seems like the perfect solution. Then putting some new swanky trinkets and badges to show everyone you have the latest thing and a massive price tag and you have the perfect car for london.
