amazing, even holds it own against those muscle cars.. love it

 

[Woody]

Wow. Is it right it can't be registered and used on the roads over there?

 

[ColinG]

Awesome!!! Would love to own one over there!

Tyre sizes on the front look wrong! We need to source the owner and get him to sign up here so we can quiz him!!

The car belongs to the Lane Motor Museum, and can be used for display or museum events (but I always take the long way to get to the shows). I will check the tyre size, I only work for museums on Saturdays and Sundays. www.lanemotormuseum.org

I think its extremely difficult and if not impossible to legally register a v6 over there. However, when the v6 hits 25 years old, it will be relatively easy to do so. Be interesting to see if theres any demand for the v6's in the US in about 15 years time!

Early phase ones could be legally exported to Canada in around 2 years time - Their law is 15 years old, not 25.

The previous owner of this car in the UK used to post about it on Twitter. I dont think he was on here.

What a fascinating looking collection for the US, and in a fascinating looking building too!

They look too high on the sidewall but I could be wrong... Almost too baloonish??

I got ya
Was looking and wondered if it was just running slightly oversized tyres (width) I do this on my VW T4, gives me a little extra alloy protection when I'm not concentrating :rollseyes:, don't think you could get away with it on a vee due to the already poor turning circle and rubbing on the inner arch

Not an issue on my vee as I need a taxi a get to the kerb when parking it :rofl:

Lane Motor Museum: A fascinating collection indeed, but the Vee does not appear in the museum's online collection - is it a new addition?!

 

[Andrew]

Just seen the vee on the below link, some ace motors! inc. Mclaren mp4-12c

awesome video link...

this may be a easy/stupid question but how come the Clio V6 cant be registered in the USA?

 

[Matt]

Good video
. Least none drove into a tree

Watched the video last night, really cool to see such a variety of cars and the noises for me. They seemed to get excited when the Lotus went past.

Murcielago in yellow - dream car, yes please
