They must have done.
You had 3 and there is one in Gloucester, so they sold at least 4

I thought Peroduos (or whatever they're called) start at £4500 though? If the govt. hadn't insisted importers/manufactures stump up a £1000 reduction we could have bought a brand new car for £2500! They've got to be worth considering at that price, if only to keep our 500s tucked away in bad weather
Have you seen a Mito in real life? As long as the owner hasn't gone for a garish colour and light surround combo they tend not to look as weird in the metal.
Personally if I could have justified the extra fuel and insurance I'd have waited for the multiair engined Mito's to come out and I would have waited for a 165bhp one with a DDCT box.
Well I think James may is a bit of a purist and tbh if you're looking for soemthing as close as possible to the original 500 the Panda is probably the closest thing.
My first one ended up looking like this before/after (guess which is which!) What a beast!They must have done.

It looks like they've got some real build quality issues!
All Perodua's are based on old Daihatsu's hence reliability etc. Oh and the Myvvi seen on Top Gear is based on the Daihatsu Sirion (Daihatsu Boon as it's known in Japan) which my Mum has (see pic) and it's a very good car, unbelievable rear leg room! The new Subaru Justy is also based on the Sirion.

Only took about 3 hours to strip the whole car! But in reality, i was built like a rock, no squeaks or rattles like Fiat and too basic to go wrong. I actually miss the Nippa's...
i do really like the mito but not in the gray or black look's cool in red it's like all cars look good in some colour's and bad in other's i am not sure about the 500 in silver but that's just me
Having driven the quicker Mitos & several GPs I would probably go for a GP Sporting over a Mito. They are very similar to drive (as you might expect) but the GP seems to give better value for money...
But, I might not....

:yeahthat: Lol
Guys Guys, they weren't even 500's. They were Puntos!
Funnily enough I'm off to London in mine next Saturday, might make a detour to Notting Hill now
I can just imagine the scene if Lloyd had been taking part, especially if he was given the slobbering St Bernard.
I missed this... and my spidey sense told me when it said they were doing something on small cars that the 500 would feature... I'm sure it's repeated at some point tho this week!
Its on BBC iplayer. Top gear episode 3!
