Can't wait. The T440 and the Typhon are fantastic drives and looks, this will really make the grade.

The T440R is in strip down and rebuild with LNT, which will take some months before it is back on the road, the Typhon will be picked up on Tuesday.

Reflex Charcoal, one of two produced. Non sc, non Sq box.

Richard - am assuming this one was the "Smolenski" car, which was proudly on show during Back Home? Amazing car indeed and I had the chance to sit in a car which felt very special indeed. Seem to remember the guide stating that the factory retained all the moulds for the model and the real issue as to preventing larger numbers of production was the bespoke interior parts?

Craig,
Same car. Cannot comment re production - but I am pretty damn sure that if 60 had been produced that they would have sold immediately - as all who have seen the Typhon or T440R have commented, they are simply stunning. The drive is how you would expect it to be - visceral, to say the least. Start up clears the woods of pigeons and crows alike!!

The name badge, design...
SC and Sq box were options. Neither of the Typhon's has them.
The T400R is quite a different beast, as evidenced by any of the photos on the forum let alone the raison d'etre.
The 440 is 4.2 S6, the Typhon a 4.0.

So the grey one is a T400 then?


No, T440R.
