There’s a new AD08RS that’s just come out that looks a little less track focused & a lot less £ than the R888R.
Interesting, I’ll take a look, thanks!

Good stuff. It's the low revs manners with the Emerald that gets me - 5th rising up from idle no problem at all. Mine's only 235 bhp/4 litre but the ecu has made the car. Pops and bangs here too - doesn't get boring. Ideal for tailgaters.

Totally agree. At some point I’ll be getting some decent pictures for an article. The mirrors need to go back on pronto.



The other half has taken a shine to it. I might have to buy another one rofl

Awesome work mate. I may have missed it earlier in the thread but did you decide to keep it? What did you end up doing?
It’s a lovely car and you’ve given it the respect it deserves.

Thanks, right now I want to keep it for a bit, but it's not staying. I have tried to use whom I consider to be the best at what they do, in my attempt to bring this one back. Next year it's eligible to ship to the US, that's an option. In the meantime, if anyone offers me somewhere close to what I think, it will sell. I have a promise to keep biggrin

If any car really has a character, I think Griffs define it.

September, how time flies.

Pretty much sod all has changed to be fair. Just counting the days until the roads are less ste to take it out for a drive. Will order tyres soon, still undecided on that. This weekend the plan is to go and get the mirrors, then finally sort them. Had a chat about some car mats from the same place that trimmed it, but, it’s a bit salty (just for mats) so we’ll see. This will no doubt end up with me buying two sets, one for normal and one for show rofl
