Is this electric MG the PERFECT car for James May?

James May has been outspoken about how he wants to move on from classic car motoring, instead vouching for electric or hydrogen modes of transport. Mike Fernie has decided to provide a happy medium, to see if he can convince May to at least have some classic motoring in his life. Enter the RBW EV Roadster!

I love how he doesn’t like old cars but still knows and can explain you everything about them

[Arminhal]

Please do an episode with James May in the bunker trying to fix the squeeky door, give him half an hour to do it

[Isaac]

Why is it that when James May says 'yes electrify them' it sounds A LOT more sinister than it's suppose to 😂

[cerebralm]

I think it looks beautiful, the synthesis of old and new is wonderful! Of course, 90 grand for a new, slow, short range, two-seater electric car is completely ridiculous.

[keystarG]

James should start his own electric car company - eCock

[vaillante]

james may will easily fall in love with electric sandero😂

"you don't have to be braced for the inevitable MGB breakdown" that genuinely hurt with how accurate it was

[THuang-ltob]

I love how he isn't developing an old man attitude, specifically towards cars and classics. His philosophy has always been so solid

7:00 Bus driver has spotted a vividly looking James may!!

[farnthboy]

That Mazda wasn't broken down - they were stealing it.

[Abc-ytel]

Tonight,
Richard breaks down in a Mazda
I turn into a Scottish man
And James, drives a milk float

[victoriouspancake]

7:00 the bus driver is making his day brighter

[TermlessHGW]

I think what most people like about classic's is the way they look and sound

[williamhodgson]

Have to say I love the sound of the MGB engine, had a 1978 GT for 5 years, my everyday car, I was a community nurse, drove it all around northern France, never let me down once, the most reliable car I have ever owned.

"Nice car, it's electric?"
"Yes"
"How much is it?"
"Starts at 90 grand..."
"Ok, thanks. Bye"

[daszieher]

"Really?"

"But that is still 90 grand!"

'nuff said.

[headsetlucky]

I love that James can put himself in the shoes of someone who would love this and why even if he doesn't really

[epurist]

"It starts from 90 grand"

*Really?*

[cfbm]

My question is, what did the bus driver say that had to be cut out? 🤔

[JamesNixon]

Still don’t get the point of electric conversions. Stick a modern V6 in there with modern drivetrain etc, appeals way more to me and would be way more fun
