Cheers guys.....the stripes are love or hate but I like em so tough lol

Bet you change your mind when you see it, looks way better in the flesh

Rich.....wasn't happy with the martini concept so once I painted the wing mirrors it gave me the theme for the rest of the car :-)

Now your not going to go and sell it after all that, are you Glen

We'll see.......what I find quite random is its way better to drive than the 420 ever was

Way more lower down torque.....feels quicker.......maybe down to the better suspension and way better brakes giving more corner confidence

Looking at it again, the way that the front spoiler goes up in to the wheelarch is unusual isn't it or is the heat getting to me?

its not the heat, on the early ones the front spoiler was a bolt on after thought, which is why it has those sticky up bits at either side.....one the later ones its blended into the body

You can see her in the flesh in the morning all
