I went to the Peterson Auto Museum when one was on display there for a couple of weeks, back when they were first announced in 2006. Stepped around the ropes to get a closer look but the museum guard chased me away. They didn't have the engine compartment open, so I couldn't see anything interesting.

The dealer is steps from my work, but it's not open yet.

Same thing here, but I didn't attempt jumping the rope

I've always wondered the same thing. It seems like such a cool car to buy. I was also wondering about the Ariel Atom....
