David:

I would certainly entertain it, albeit with the obvious "caveats" that have been covered so far in this thread.

Personally, I would still like to see you take another stab at a totally 'glass car, or at least one with aluminum boot, bonnet and doors. I say this not because I am trying to dilute your expertise, or cloud your aluminum "signature" within the industry, but because there are concrete advantages to glass cars, both in terms of practicality and ease of repair. There is significantly more to cost of ownership with these cars - particularly those crafted in aluminum - than the original purchase price, and such a car would better cater to that person on a tighter budget.

BTW, got an aluminium hood scoop lying around?
