They produce two models, 50 or a 80 mile range.. Looks brilliant.. I have been tempted to enquire about costs..

Clue is in the use of the word 'standard'.. if they said 'normal' or 'dull' overnight delivery perhaps a different story..

The Lucas thing was very contemporaneous here too.
A lot of the cars and motos were primarily export products.
They couldn't get rid of Lucas parts fast enough.
Lucas cursed us as much as we cursed them.
That's why you got the Robins and mobility scooters instead.
(and top-hat black cabs. yeah, no, you can have those)

Update on my previous post.

TIL that not only does Fedex standard overnight delivery mean a week, it also means you gotta go pick up your package from the shipping hub yourself....
