One of there first demonstrators I think? I always thought it was Imperial Blue Xirallic.
It's #016... the presscar from amongst others AutoCar 11/2014.
Midnight Blue with Oyster leather.

The first UK example produced in Imperial Blue is #023

I edited the photo a bit because of the lighting, it definitely had a green tint to it though, lovely colour in the sun. If it's in again this week I'll grab a closeup photo.

Take the pictures landscape.

You're beginning to sound like a broken record, Dicky.

I know. I'll stop. Sake.
hehe its making me really angry reading this thread! Why don't people understand that a phone screen is portrait, whereas every other screen ever is landscape.

its like the people i see someone filming video in portrait, why. People just think for a second!
And it's not a new phenomenon. My first wife's family had home movie evenings where we would all sit dutifully watching moving film of relations standing still and every now and then there would be synchronised head tilting as gran was seen posing in the back garden filmed perpendicular to the rest of the inaction.

If it is, then they're a lazy fker for driving 0.3 miles to the station... So probably not!

So I lost an hour crawling through Weybridge tonight only to find it was because of one fking broken down car on the A3 roundabout!

It was however, a Mercedes 300SL roadster which had broken down! What's that a million quid?

Made my day in the end! (Not because it was broken down, but because it's just achingly beautiful and I've never seen one on the roads before)

Top knowledge as always! In fact, I should know better as the ex-press car is still local to me in Nottingham.

No pic as I was driving but spotted a Porsche 959 being trailered through London this afternoon.

A few from the week end:
Sprite looked like it had just rolled off the production line (or better!)

Shelby Mustang I think?

Dodge Charger circa '72. NOT R/T But it did have a 426 Hemi and was VERY Loud.

The only thing on the back of this Ford was "Streetrod"?

Not sure if it's the the colour or dull paintwork, but it just looks so normal and underwhelming.

Not sure if it's strictly a supercar, but at one time it was (according to the customer....) the worlds most expensive car on sale at the time. Worked on it earlier this week, supposedly one of 58 made and 6 in the UK. A Panther DeVille.

Probably the car needs a detail and better angles for the photos, in real-life they have so much presence.

Has any-one noticed the seat-belt alarm disabler in the drivers seat, looks like whoever driving is a fool who does not wear one...

Honestly have no idea why anyone would buy one of these to save not wearing a seat belt. Beggars belief.

It may be that the driver has genuine medical exemption for not wearing a seatbelt.

Have we had a live pic of the Maserati SUV yet ?......well we still haven't because.....

Saw one in Italy and was actually in a jam in front of it for ages and didn't get a pic.

I thought it was an Infiniti until I saw it properly.

I also DO have a pic of a Lambo Urus.

Absolutely fking horrible.

Put all six of 'em on a bonfire, along with every Excalibur ever made, and we'll go a long way toward making the world a better place. Then we can start on modern Chryslers, PT Cruisers first, followed by 300cs.

It was the most expensive car for sale in Britain, not the world when it was being sold.
