Somewhere I have a photocopy of a review from Top Gear magazine where they reviewed a factory-built 2+2 as a turnkey car from Stourbridge Quantum. As I recall, Jeremy's also wife drove it (and liked it) and it was compared favourably with the Mazda MX5 as faster and better equipped. I seem to recall the only criticism was the cat-pee like smell of new fibreglass. I suspect this was why there was a perfumey smell in Q's built after that time... Did they add something to the mix? Anyway, we should be making more of these kinds of reviews, quoting them on the website perhaps, making sure the magazines are aware of them and so on. As Rob says, Clarkson has quite an influence and a favourable quote goes a long way to helping with our cars' values. Although I'm also aware that low values help me to keep my 2+2 - if its value is pitiful I can keep telling my wife it's not worth my while to sell it...
