For exhibit A, simply scan your eyes down to the bottom of this page and marvel upon the considerable list of options, the sum total of which raise the JCW's basic price by around 30 per cent. YC15OFR, like all of its fellow launch cars, is stuffed to the gills with equipment, most of it completely unnecessary. Sure, it all works great, it's amusing to have loads of gadgets to tinker with, and most prospective owners will go to town on the options list, but let's be honest. if price is really a concern, then almost all of them could be replaced with a simple £10 phone holder. So, having used almost every gizmo on the car now, I set myself a challenge.
