Samuel raises some excellent points about bridging heritage and future. I’m particularly interested in how they’re handling the driving dynamics. The XJ was known for its smooth ride and the E-Type for its responsiveness. Matching that with electric motors will be crucial.
I disagree with the hype around these. Mini Coopers are money pits once they get older. Parts are expensive, and repairs at a Mini specialist are not cheap. The no reserve auction worries me – what if there’s hidden damage?
