£34,000 for this; 
Looks like an error has been made with a few noughts. Surely they mean £34

They managed to pilot two of them across the channel in a fairly heavy swell, so they can't be that unstable.

"Everyone who saw it, either at close quarters or performing, would probably agree that it was nothing short of a floating coffin."

Jail is quite a serious punishment for someone who designed a car that, to my knowledge, hasn't injured anyone. Especially as muggers only get
ASBOs. If someone had died then maybe but the worst that should happen in this case is taking them off sale and perhaps if serious enough buying back
any cars sold.
Prison should only be for bad things that HAVE happened, not that might happen.

Surely if you're going to spend £34,000 on any vehicle you'd go and visit the manufacturer, have a test drive/float etc etc before you
ordered it?? not wait a year for it to turn up, decide it's actually not what you want and then sue the manufacturer because you couldn't
be *rsed researching it enough!!
I suspect the full story may not be being reported but if that is the full story.......

That certainly sounds more feasible explanation - the media sometimes get a little economical with the facts
