Deronda at Autosport...

Did anyone else see there car at the show?

Needed a good polish and the rims re-furbed! Looked (cosmetically) terrible!

Why did they bother paying for the pitch!?

I finally can say it then... in Hungarian Deronda (de ronda) means: How ugly...

Always made me chuckle when I saw the car's name...

I didn't take one... I feared for my lens!



No... that's not fair. I'm quite 'neutral' towards the aesthetics of the car and have never driven one, so I shouldn't be too cheeky about the design. I just thought that it seemed odd to pay all that money for a pitch and then not have the car sparkly clean!

Missed that stand in fact I missed a few,due to the models with the twin airbags giving out the freebies.

If it was in the Pistonheads part I saw it - struck me as a "working example" of their warez tbh

Yep dirty and dull. Maybe a working example as shown. Not to my taste either way.

Was a very nice example wasn't it! Looked well finished too. Deronda looked a dog in comparison.

Hmmmm - if something were done about that nose, it'd look great. Like the fact it's in-line-engined and those structural side pods. Looks very well built overall.

Don't worry Claire - if one of these fits, a V6 ought to be no problem...

Aye... that one in Jay's garage is a bit of a looker! Lots of shiny carbon and a big LS engine!

Far more exotic materials than the one 'showcased' at Autosport!

Oh... and it was clean!

Interesting to note that EVO magazine listed the Deronda as one of the worst 10 cars they have ever tested! Quote, "looks to have been built from a bad photocopy of the design... ". Just about sums it up for me!
