Black is a good idea...it makes the car a bit more beasty because it looks a tiny bit more civelised? then lets say an Exige, so yellow would not make it look good(not on that for long) so black would be a nice cool Europa S...
What will be your thoughts when you have the car...tuning? wheels? exhaust? clutch
congrats..the "long" waiting starts

Does a full 8 hour job with Zymol Royale wax.

Cost a few hundred quid but supposed to be the absolute nuts and makes the car a piece of pi££ to wash afterwards

I have to wash it afterwards as well.... hum... as my 240R will tell you... cleaning is not my strongest point...

Doubt I'll mod it much as it's going to be the daily driver.... the 240R is still going to be the track toy.... and the current quote I have for mods on that is upto £11K now.... ouch... but sure I'll get a better deal getting them all done at the same time!

Sounds like a great choice speedyellow - can't wait to see it. You'll become very familiar with cleaning products very soon. Black cars forever need attention

okay,,, at a guess,,,

you bought the grey tvr t350 that was advertised on pistonheads using the cooper as a p/ex (marked as sold now and suggesting a high spec cooper s p/ex)...

you have to wait for you europa which will be your daily driver...

so...

you are going to p/ex your t350 for one of the rari 550's as now the 599 has been announced, dealers will be crying to flog 550's and you can come out quids in all round?

hmmmm... i've confused myself there! lol

...and no... i haven't sold it yet... working on it though... ems quite fancies it for herself, but thinks she needs to seatrial it to cherbourg before making a decision! lol

Cool - be interested how you get on....

Latest I heard was dealers should have static showroom car from late August and 2nd demo cars for mid September. Price should be £33-34k but not yet fixed. Air Con, Sat Nav, Traction control etc etc all standard. Only option is metallic paint.

Also heard they will be loading in freebies on the 111R this summer.....

Lead- in Elise should be ready shortly after - £23-24k with 140bhp Toyota engine.
