Took my son to his Year 11 (5th year of Senior school) Prom in style last night.

I’d say your son looks particularly dapper.  The car certainly adds to the look!

The next step is to let your son drive his date to the Prom night...

Well, that is my dream but he can't drive until he's 17 (he's not 16 until next month), and his next big Prom night will be when he completes what are known as A-Levels in the UK, and that will be in June 2026.

So I have plenty of time to save up the funds to insure him on this car  ;D
