Looks quite well used for such a rare car.
One of the things my illness in 2012 mad me miss out on was the introduction of the F-Type Jag (just behind the Artega). I had to surrender my driving license and the DVLA medical department are notoriously bad at dealing with people - my GP and surgeon were both happy that I was fit to drive and was on no medication that would affect my driving but the DVLA's computer said "no". By the time I had my license back, the invitations to take one out for an extended drive were well out of date. Personally, I much prefer the look of the X100 (early) XK8, although the F-Type is probably a much better car.

Astonishingly, in Austria they let people drive these things on the roads as well...

Hi, only if there is no separate path for bicycles. With poor brakes, riders or rather "standers" are in great danger ... ---

In the UK, they're completely illegal on road or pavement, as are those wierd "hoverboards" and powered scooters. The UK government considered legalising powered scooter use on the roads in 2020 but then abandoned the idea in favour of limited trials around the country.

The trials are now well underway and seemingly with very few hire and travel restrictions...only a driving license required.

Well, at least a driving license is required ... --- Here in Germany, our present (lame duck) government wants to look "green" and progressive, having failed in other areas miserably ... ---

The trials are in a few cities. Those bloody scooters are everywhere. Too slow for roads and too fast for pavements as well as being too unstable for almost anywhere!

In Chania, motor vehicles of any kind are banned from the road around the outer harbour in the old city. A couple of years ago, we watched the police enforcing this rule for about 1/2 hour before they got bored and got on their motorbikes and rode off around the same road... VERY much one set of rules for the public and a different set for the police!!!
