"From next month, all new cars sold in Europe must have ABS as standard. While most models already come with the safety feature, some - such as Fiat's entry-level Panda - do not. And buyers are being warned about ordering a non-ABS car before the legislation is introduced, as resale values are likely to be seriously affected.
However, small-volume models - built at a rate of less than 500 per year - are exempt, so firms such as TVR are not affected"
It's about time !
