    The car is now back in the UK. 32 miles away from where it was built. Just waiting for the DVLA to issue number plates.

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
