@107fan Older Rolls Royce,using British Electric,same as old Jaguar & Rover...Latest ones using German BMW Parts...Do you think BMW are Reliable.?

Buy RR never about reliability.  That's why RR RSA program is carved out of BMW Group

@Pro326 Great find!  I think this car has a fibreglass body, which was quite revolutionary in its day.

Speaking of Lotus, I once seen a Lotus Esprit (S2, I believe) in the parking of Holiday Plaza, JB.  Super memorable as it was very low, flat-ish and wedge-like.   The front windscreen was "almost" flat.

Confirm still have W168 A-Class running on our road. Saw a white colour unit at Kallang about 2 months back (was driving, not able to take photo). Just did a search on sgcarmart and this should be the one (COE till 2029).

Interior look very good for this 20 year old unit.

On a side note, I have driven the fuel cell model of this baby Mercedes during an event at Suntec. The car is actually very stable even at slightly above 100Km/h.

Actually after the moose test fiasco, Mercedes-Benz did revised the design of the A-class like widening the tyres track widths, fitting anti-roll bar, fitting wider tyres etc.
