IMHO it's probably down to the fact that most people aren't in the position to buy a 25-30k car at the moment. (However, there's a lot of money in aluminium ducting don't you know
)Secondly, no doubt there are quite a few speculators who though they'd turn a profit on the car but that hasn't been a case, probably due to over supply. Remember how people ordered the P1 when IM announced that they'd only be making 500, then as soon as the initial bunch had been sold out they announced a further 500. It was never an issue with proper limited editions like the RB5 and Terzo

best we start making the aluminium duct then. we make Galvanized at the moment.... Some of the Orders are from PPL with financial difficulty, just last week a guys car was PDI'd ready for collection, the same morning as his company was put into liquidation.
Sadly he had to cancel. The other so called cancelled orders are NOT actually cancellations. Mine is TBH a phantom order, made up by the dealer in a random name they get the car at the original list price (there have been 2 price rises so far) someone not wanting to wait (or order early for an unlimited wait) then pays todays list price.
Then the last few remaining real cancellations are actually ppl fed up with waiting for lots of dealers and sourcing cars elsewhere. So there original order is now a cancellation.

They look Hard as F*ck from the front and side, not keen on the bubble butt backend though, still a nice bit of kit and they sound sweet too.
Looking forward to your unbiased opinion between the scoob and RS

No more than any new car like this... People went crazy when they were annouced and I guess some people couldn't actually afford one, I don't know many people that cancelled because of the delay in production.
Lot's of limited number production vehicles have this... should have seen what went on when I worked for AML
