A P-type.  I wondered who on earth bought them.

That's the one.  Not the best looking Brommie, is it?

Will Butler-Smith is a regular accompanying Ministers etc on overseas trade missions. He obviously brings the bikes no wants to buy with him as demos.

Dahons and Montagues are sold in India, I'd expect there to be someone selling Bromptons too.

The combined visual effect of that bike plus that man is hideous.

You dont buy a Brompton to look cool. They look pretty wacky in the best colours. Multi-coloured P type must be up there in the wacky stakes. The future PM must have some guts to be seen on that one!!

You're giving me nightmares, BucksBrompton. Fingers crossed for a PM with intelligence rather than ingrained bluster based on an unimaginable level of inherited wealth and the corresponding status that that buys.

Bromptons tend to look nice.
