Crystal Topaz is just ace.
What a colour, still my favourite - not a lairy reflex, but a modern classic. Lovely.

Hi there
I see you have the same colour

Ah....I am here.

Wonderful to learn of her existence. She was a great motor whilst I had her. Just shown the pictures to my son, born November 2006. It was his arrival that caused her departure.

She looks fabulous. Feeling rather misty eyed.

Also, to answer Nicks question, I removed the Sagaris cans before selling the car on 14 years ago. The original carbon cans were a better fit and did not stick out as much. The originals sounded better.

Spot the high level brake light conversion. Its unique and quite a few people wanted pictures to see how it was done.

That 18000 mile service was, I think, when I took it to the factory. It left driving like new but I was £1,000 lighter.

Hi Andy,

Sorry to hear it was in a bit of a state. It won the Back Home concours many years ago. Might have been 2003 or 2004, not sure. Looking at the reg, it was traded in by the person I sold it to. Strange that there was no history since 18,000 miles. Chap who bought it was a car dealer and I know he took it to an Indy somewhere in Cheshire and had the suspension 'set up not that it needed it. Also strange that it has been stored 8 years.

When I sold it, for about £18.5k (!) I handed over every single receipt. I contacted the first owner who traded it in for a Maserati. Think it came from Mole Valley and he got charged another for its early servicing.

They do sound agricultural so would not be overly concerned with that. Never had a rebuild before or during my tenure. Looking at MOT history online it got used alot soon after I sold it, but had two SORN periods.

PMd you last night so happy to have a chat if you give me a call and can tell you more.

Best regards

Bryan
