Well the Renault MPV is not exactly fully modern being about 10 years old, but compared to my 1967 Lotus Elan it is brand new. The MPV has got built in computers & things for crash-air-bags & for engine-management, burglar alarm etc etc.

I've chatted to you about the Lotus before, have you actually been able to get it on the road and drive it?
