    Why are they more usable?

    If you now use them they are no longer in "as they were condition" as new stone chips, etc. are taking away their original condition.

    So I don't agree. The most usable cars are restored cars, because you can always restore them again ... no history is lost, etc. But original cars like this will just be ruined if used and end up having to one day be restored.

    I'm with you re these two Merc's.

    As long as their working parts are kept in roadworthy condition there's no reason they couldn't alternate as daily drivers.

    If they were fully restored they would never hit the bitumen in the way they were intended.

    These bloke's ^^^ have no idea.

    Total curb weight is 4,080 pounds, which is hefty for a sports car, but reasonable for an all-electric hypercar with four motors and four gearboxes...

    High speed + lots of weight = tires can only grip so much when the basic laws of physics are factored in.

    Its a interesting vehicle all the same.

    When/how did Yugoslavia get savvy enough to build something like this?

    Who is really behind it, they are use to building generation old/obsolete FIAT hand me downs?

    Thanks Peter. You seem to be doing a lot "for me" lately.

    Maybe you aren't the total **** that everyone says you are, after all?

    Perhaps in the end you're just a relaxed, tracksuit-pant-wearing chap like the rest of us?
