I returned and took this picture, because I was so happy about how little space I'd left between the car and the barrier, and drove home.
Imagine my surprise when, a few days later, the good people at Ineos informed me that they'd been sent a parking penalty charge notice by NCP, this car park's operator, and asked if I could please sort it out.

The genesis of the concept car
Nowadays, concept cars are a given. They have long been a nice way for manufacturers to stoke a bit of excitement among their fans; to show off shiny new technologies or simply to test the reception to what they've got in the pipeline.
