MrJWW | The Koenigsegg Chimera and Becoming A Dealer

I join James (@MrJWW) in his new Koenigsegg London dealership for a catchup on all of the crazy projects now underway with DRVN group. In pt1. we discuss Koenisegg and particularly the crazy one off Jesko engined, CC850 gearboxed Agera that James recently drove. We then move onto Boreham Motorworks and the licensed Ford products that will be coming along with Pt.2 where we will have the Evolito (355 Restomod) story including the genesis of that project and where it has got to now.
