exciting times Thumbs Up
Interesting to know any glitches... launch RRs are usually of dubious quality Whistle
Also, does it have the shadow walnut trim? Like to see that if you do... it looks nice on the configurator but not sure if will be so nice in reality Laughing
Final thing: what did you have to do to get a go? Cool

Thanks
Smile

hi guys,ok the car is finished in what looks like black exterior but when the sun comes out Rolling with laughter it turns to dark purple lovely but no good for my ocd,paint finish is superb far far better than l322 no orange peel.Interior is a very nice place to sit and feels so more modern than the westminster,seats are much more supportive and finish is far better on all trim.This vehicle has electronic sill steps which i thought at 3k was crazy but after using it for the last 24 hours im not so sure.The sound the car produces through induction roar is superb sounds so so different than the tdv8 in the westminster almost throaty and v8 roar very very nice.God im starting to fall in love with it,will get some pictures together for you,am leaving shortly to take it up to north devon where the snow is so will find out what its really like but at the moment no complaints,performance by the way is sublime.

cheers simon
ps:interior has piano black im afraid,and how did i manage to get one for thre days you ask well i begged Very Happy

Top work that man Thumbs Up
Sounds like fun!
Probably Barolo Black?
Piano should add to the modern feel anyway... on balance probably suits the car well!
Have fun Wink

hi guys,dont think ive forgotten you all,have just returned from my jaunt and will get full roadtest report up in next day or so,the lower tailgate does not lock down into position and the boot is identical in size to my l322 however i didnt measure it to be honest with you.The vehicle does have a few niggles with it which i will let you know in due course but to be honest its a great car but is it worth nearly 100k???

cheers simon
