At a recent trip to the factory a dark grayish 'R' which was reported to be the 1st customer car was in a state of build, but looked about the same as it did in the 'Back Home' photos

1st customer car (Harrogate) was supposed to be finished a month or so ago. As far as I know the sequential gearbox is still not finished - although this car was going to have the standard five speed box until the sequential one was ready. Can only assume they're having trouble getting the 440bhp speed six engine to a stage everyone's happy with.

Hope it's soon anyhow!

Saw a red Tuscan R on the M6 a few weeks back, was in the limited smart so couldnt keep up, but it was definately a Tuscan R. Northbound towards the lakes?? Wish I could have got closer to it

Didnt see a reg - the winds were quite high and I was on the limiter trying deperately to hold it in a straight line Did look like Rosso pearl tho.
