Nsx - exe....?

[Sudesh]

Any of you guys see this before?

I'd heard of it, but never seen it. Amazing, isn't it. The NSX echoes so many bits of the design - even the flanks (which are the only bit of the NSX design I still feel are a bit 'awkward').

Also in the idea that the glass area should resemble a jet fighter's canopy. That's an NSXism, too, isn't it?

Is the EX-E still at Gaydon? Would love to see it in the flesh.

Yes the EX-E is still at Gaydon - such a shame BL never had the conviction to build great cars instead of wedges of cheese (Austin 18-22 )

It wasn't really a matter of conviction - more that they were piss-poor due to having such a disastrous past.

Roy Axe was responsible for some great designs. If you can obtain a copy of his autobiography, it's worth a read.
