What are the chances of that! - M600

[Stella Artois]

Just coming back from work and had the fortune to bump into (not literally) the following. Just had to stop for a natter.

They were doing a photo shoot for a group test with some mighty fine vehicles. Apologies for the quality, its a naff phone!

The M600 looks far better in the flesh than any pictures that I have seen. Fully C/F Bodied!

You are indeed a Hans Lehmann in the making Sir

Who was doing the shoot? Any more details forthcoming?

I think we'll have to call that colour brave blue!

You're not the only one to have said that. I was looking forward to seeing for myself at Goodwood Revival, but as I still haven't had it confirmed that it'll be there, I probably won't.

Not sure who the "Client" of the shoot was, but it was being done by EMAP, from Peterborough. They were due to be in Yorkshire today, but the weather was foul so they stayed nearer home. They seemed quite happy to let me poke around it and I thank them for it, it made my day. What some of the photo's I've seen don't convey is there are some lovely attention to detail points. The side scoops with the Noble "crown" inset and the small turned, what looked like titanium knob, that released the rear shell to access the tiniest V8 that I have seen, there looked to be enough room in there to fit a "different" V8. Maybe this is intentional, I'm speculating on that point.

I was asked a few questions on how I liked the M12 and weather I would separate with £200k for the M600. I was also asked what the general consensus was as to how the brands reputation had changed since the departure of Lee. Mr B was present at the shoot, IIRC as I was not paying a whole lot of attention with the exception of trying to get to see as much of the car as I could on such an impromptu basis.

Don't the EVO team work out of Peterborough for EMAP?


Mike.

Well that's no compliment, he was a rubbish goalkeeper.

Nice spot!

The M600 actually looks quite good, I was'nt too keen before.

Evo is a Dennis publication, so probably not.

I really hope they have some better colours lined up! And the choice of different wheels wouldn't go amiss either!

Or just plain st...

The colour is not too bad in the flesh. My phone doesnt really do it justice. It does however look like its been sponsored by Mothercare.

[andygtt]

Did it ooze the same appeal as the Lambo when seeing them both together in the flesh?... its funny as I was thinking of the Lambo SV when thinking about what car I'd be pitching it against!

I was thinking of Barclays.

I think 'poof blue' is quite good

[joust]

I can assure you no self respecting poof would be seen in that blue, so go and wash your mouth out you little bh.
