It's an early production car, probably driven by an employee.

Unfortunately it appears to be the final specification

Early production car as in its being used to put miles on and evaluate. Nothing will have changed shape wise, thats all been signed off.

That was the point I was making.

Saturday morning driving into Cardiff I was behind a chrome wrapped X6.. it looked bizarre to say the least haha. also drove alongside Craig Bellamy in his Kahn'd Range Rover Sport.

There was a few nice cars in St Davids 2 carpark, Cardiff.. Particularly a silver Aston V8 Vantage convertible & a brand new White M3 saloon.

Also had a very interesting conversation with a fellow PH'er while at the counter of Flannels. Turns out he has quite the bloody collection! He recently had sold an RS500 but has an Aventador roadster amongst others currently on the drive... didn't catch your name but I remember you saying your username is 'F88' or something along those lines on here.. Was a pleasure talking to you.

FHH has a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster, possibly him.

FHH..thats the chap. He seems to have a very impressive collection...Always nice to know cars like that are local (ish). The last place he expected to talk about rising classic Ferrari prices was at the tills of a clothes store with a complete stranger haha.

Yestorday around midday on fabian way was an new XKR coupe next to me''P2 GUN'' and a lovely white Panamera Turbo something like ''F6 CAP'' also in swans.

while i was on site ( Barratts Copper Quarter) i definetly heard a Lamborghini V12 being absolutely bollucked passed the liberty stadium. no idea what it was but it sounded glorious.. likely an Aventador/Mercie.

Just come from Llandow and Chris Harris was there testing a 991 GT3 RS, an Aston GT12 and a McLaren 650S.

It's F6GAP and it's not a Turbo, it's local to me and is in fact a diesel.

The silver F12 (LE plate) was in its regular parking space in Neath yesterday. God it's a good looking car, looks even cooler in such a mundane colour

If you heard the Italian V12 yesterday, then it was properly FHH in his Aventador.

Saw FHH Aventador just turning into Churchill Way by Flannels Saturday, must have been same time you saw him.

Believe I was parked next to your red R32 at Horseshoe Bend on the PH run a few weeks back

[Ace1968]

Whilst walking the dog around Pontyclun this morning saw a brown new Mercedes SLK 55, new red Audi RS6 Estate and three new E63 AMG saloons parked next to each other, business on those little light industrial units must be going well.

[OMG_TURBOZ]

Went to the Lime Crab about 2 weeks ago and spotted a BMW M3 (E92). Went to the Captain Rendevous on Saturday and saw it again.

I see - I only assumed it was a turbo because it has four very large exhausts.. over kill on a diesel but it still looked good!

Would make sense, I did look for it but couldn't see it. Yeh that was me - You have a rare beast in mk6 form.. looking forward to the next drive, I didn't hang around long enough after the third stop!

Quite possibly - he wasn't half hanging about if it was him, The Lambo V12 is so distinctive at full chat I was almost certain it was an Aventador.

Not as far as I know, the guy also owns a New Ferrari California Spyder.

I kind of expected that
