I just spotted a blue Citroen C-Zero in Reading (on the A4). I couldn't take a photo, as we were both driving.

Maybe a first for the thread

BMW iX3

Then again maybe saw one at Kelso, and it didn’t make that much impression

Three Tesla model 3's.
Several Leafs.
A big hulking Peugeot with the green flash. Passed too fast to see the badge.
What seemed to be a Corsa, green flash on that too.
An Ionic hybrid.

A first for me but not the thread, a cute little white Honda-e in real life. A real chance at a best seller that Honda so far have botched up. Where are they :?: Currently a complete rarity on the roads of the UK.

The usual couple of Leafs, a dopey white model 3, dopey driver anyway, in the wrong lane, swapped in front of me, over an unbroken white line, no indicators then drove the longer way round to get to Sainsburys. Would have been quicker and shorter to stay in the lane he was in originally.

Also a suspected i-Pace. Black with dark vinyl 'badges' covered in muck. Drove past it so difficult to be sure.

Just been trying to identify the Merc I saw and it certainly looked like this:

That car is not due to be released until June so either I saw a mockup being used for marketing or maybe a preproduction prototype out on test. As I said it did have the green flashed number plate which is what drew my attention in the first place. So I think I can probably claim a first for the thread!! :-D

However it would appear there is a press car around so maybe it was that!! :-D
