Hard to explain the result I would have expected the Elan to thrash the Bond as it's much quicker and should be able to negotiate gaps in traffic as easily.

I suppose the Elan had to stop frequently so that the admiring public could pose and have photographs taken with it :lol:

A bike will always win through traffic

I like Bugs .......not sure what that says about me :shock:

Still i dont think the elan will be going up for sale in search of a Bond Bug. Our PE teacher at school used to own one & he upset the first XI rugby team he was about to call the police as the bug had been stolen when someone pointed him towards the athletic field. They had picked the car up carried 1/4 mile across the field & dropped it in the triple jump pit up to its axles quite amusing at the time

Didn't Colin Chapman own a bug.

Note the word "Apparently..."

OTOH I've read somewhere he thought the 7 replacement would be a 3-wheeler :!:
