£44k for an XK8 from unsold stock. £20k of tarting up. £680k profit!

Britian. Well, I suppose it shows how hand built it is... or rather sling it together in a rush.

Well you saw a different Speedback to the one I saw then. Beautifully finished it was not. The shut lines were inexcusable, big enough to be visible from space and all over the place in terms of consistent size. So much of the interior looked parts-bin and cobbled together. I dislike everything about this car, DB Automotive and the smugness that has created it.

ETA: And the treadplate typo just about sums up the attention to detail that DBA appear to bring to their projects.
