Exactly.

Do you know how many C16 Greyblack with WG exist - I was told about 7 or 8 but that sounds very low to me ?

Did someone say ‘muck’?

I know one came originally from Aberdeen R, we had a great Euro tour years ago. I think it was a relatively rare colour combo, always thought it looked a great one though.

Saw one parked at a specialist in the summer which was covered in splattered insects and brake dust.

The 4.0 above is a friend's - though I have had a couple before.

Main difference is 200cc though they seem to make themselves known a lot more than one would expect. The 4.0 has more torque which you can consider in two ways: On the positive it gives you more flexibility - you can drive it often a gear higher than the 3.8 at less frantic revs and still the car effortlessly pulls you out. On the negative (and it is just a small one and only when comparing to the 3.8) the 4.0 can feel a little more refined, a little less angry because you are tempted to spend less time buzzing off the limiter due to better lower torque.

...oh and as the RHD 3.8 is less than half the price of a RHD 4.0, it is naturally twice as fast

The are both awesome machines.

I always thought the 4.0 looked quite different to the 3.8, but recently I met up with a 4.0 and when parked together, they are virtually identical; other than different decals & those tiny front side aero blades. I’d happily take either tbh
