Apologies if you can't get to this destination, but just wondering what you all thought?

I think it's part of this modern nostalgia trend. People will look at something iconic, and try to update it in a modern way. I don't mind... it's perhaps an attempt to reconnect with a time "when things were better", I dunno. But if you do this, you have to be prepared for brickbats as well as praise...
I suppose it's the automotive equivalent of a remake of an famous old film - same story, modern production values - or a cover version of an old musical classic. Could be good...could be rubbish...! :)

I think the rear two-thirds are pretty neat - but the square front-end rendering strikes a discordant note that jars with the smooth lines behind. (with the 2030 date - it ought to have a stack of batteries and an electric motor as well !)

Indeed Peter
Grant Scnapps will not approve.

'Usually rubbish.
'Flight of the Phoenix', 'Italian Job', 'Get Carter', 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' ('sorry Vince)...
