The enthusiasm and the way both the head dude and the rest of his crew are so in awe of Gordon Murray is palpable in the videos, which is really great to see. It comes across that they can’t believe he’s asked them to build it for him. ??

Love some of the other cars. Alfa with a 2.7 Millington ????

I cant wait to see them hang the doors , maybe i can work out how to get mine right..  apparently its an art in bending hinges and frame

I am pretty sure they have already done it before paint. I have done it on mine, and it is all about taking your time, and sometimes it is about using a block of wood and some brute force if the door needs some twisting ;)

I think the video quality has declined in this series.  The earlier ones had a lot more detail, now they just stand in front of the car and talk about what they did and what they are going to do.  The car went from finished metal to painted without any video IIRC.  Hopefully with final assembly we actually see some action and not just the guys standing beside the car after everything is fitted saying ‘we put the engine in’
