It's been awhile since Reservations opened May 2019, and my order agreed in September. I was sold when I first saw the 'e' in London at Design Museum, July 2019. I was the first member of the public to get in to see it. And for about 10-15 mins I was on my own, checking it out. I was struck by now big the car was. The long wheelbase, wide track. Sitting their tall, neat and very desirable. Those tyres tell a story. This car wants to be driven.

First Test Drive: 30 July did not disappoint. My dealer let me loose in their Grey Steel Metallic demo. Finally Registered after weeks of delay. And there it was. My car had been delivered an hour before I arrived. No updates from Honda UK, but it's finally in Salisbury.

Collected Thursday 06 August, and of course it was raining, but no matter, only drizzle. And soon this City Car was on its rural route back home. A360 and across Salisbury Plain. Sport Mode is the wrong display name. Should read FUN.

Hello Andrew, so I wasn't the only person to make a special trip to the Design Museum last July 2019, that was the only reason that I went :)
Even though I put my deposit down online in May last year, I'm not picking my car up until Monday 17th August :(
For anyone that didn't get to see the car in London, here are a couple of photos of the Honda & also the Stanley Kubrick Probe 16

But that white is not the same colour that they are selling. That was a special white for the prototype only.
