... well, town to be precise, Goole to be even more precise.

And even though the claim is somewhat tongue in cheek and, even though I suspect the sighting was a visitor, not a local ...

SEEING A BRIGHT ROSSO GORGEOUS BEYOND GORGEOUSNESS F550 BARCHETTA TRUNDLING THROUGH GOOLE IS PRETTY DAMN UNUSUAL!

As you were chaps smile

There was a Superamerica parked in the Rover garage in Scarborough (seemingly) unused for months, I think it was gunmetal though.

I only saw it from about 30 yards and did wonder if it was a SuperAmerica, but I think I would have noticed the rain catcher.

They're both lovely cars cloud9

What I like about 550s and 575s is that you dont really see that many of them in comparison with standard 360s and even 430s

Or a 550 with a Tubi, or a 456.... and that Enzo engine is used in a few other cars too, so those as well.

And the old Dino V6 makes a lovely noise as well.
