Very odd that a vehicle that is only for sale in the UK is being partially manufactured in the UK, only to be then sent off to France for assembly, and then shipped back to the UK. I wonder how much of the total cost of the vehicle that accounts for.

A report from March stated it could be bought for less than £20,00 before the end of March, subject to it receiving official regulatory approval in the UK. I'm assuming this is the same model.

The other thing I noticed about their actual website is that the specs list varies from the photos shown. One photo shows the various gauges and yet the spec list has different information about the water and fuel indicators. It mentions a tacho, yet there is obviously none there. It mentions having four 'turn lamps' yet there are additional ones on the sides (unless these will stay on permanently US style). There is mention of manual or automatic transmissions, yet no details on either, although the speedo shows markers for 5 speed auto.

Another interesting article I came across is from 2018 and an electric Moke:
