C2 are really fun to drive if you are at the wheel, but the back seat is like a big beach chair. The ones with a piece of cloth suspended on a frame. Do you think in a world of autonomous driving cars, we can make the cars lighter again? I suspect that in the future, around 2100, there will probably be a lucrative industry around turning old-timers into self driving vehicle. Once a technology is commoditised it needs to be commercialised in another way. Maybe then driving will be fun again, like a big theme park.

A friend of mine had one which went up in flames. There was a lot of paper ducting around the engine that eventually got soaked in oil with inevitable results.
It was interesting to drive, mostly I remember it would lean a long way over going round bends.
