There one in our little town, nearly always parked kerbside around the place and plainly a busy daily driver.
It's the most shocking colour, it's not even a colour really... It's a sort of beige... The sort of colour they make heating aids so they don't attract too much attention.
However, regardless of the s
t colour, I always find myself wondering what it might be like to drive 
I can imagine the bonkers acceleration with the roof down must be pretty invigorating. Wouldn't even miss the engine note either because your other senses get bombarded when you're in a properly fast drop top.

Sounds like “new english white” It's the most shocking colour, it's not even a colour really... It's a sort of beige... The sort of colour they make heating aids so they don't attract too much attention.

I might have to apologise because I think your car is the hearing aid beige colour I complained about earlier... But all shiny like that it looks a lot better!Paintwork aside, I really think these cars have a great profile. Cars are getting pretty big, especially EV's... But the cyberster has everything in proportion I think. They look great
There is a red one I see semi regularly parked at the back of East Midlands Parkway station.
I saw a nightmare post on Facebook randomly this week of a guy who paid £58k for his 9 months ago, somebody rear ended him at 30 and due to parts unavailability, cost of hire car etc it is being written off. Their offer was £39k! As low as this is, it looks like they have actually depreciated that heavily and you can pick them up low 40's so maybe the offer isn't as total a slap in the face as it first appears. Another reason why gap insurance is so important on any relatively new car.

Did he buy new or nearly new? You expect to lose about 10k pretty much overnight if so...I saw a nightmare post on Facebook randomly this week of a guy who paid £58k for his 9 months ago, somebody rear ended him at 30 and due to parts unavailability, cost of hire car etc it is being written off.

And if new or nearly new, yes to gap insurance, always! We always take it up with lease cars and it's normally less than £200.

Like the other post mentions, gap insurance is so cheap too and well worth having.
