I saw this car in the flesh today. The photo's don't do it justice.

It literally looks like it just rolled off the production line.

It even had that new car smell :shock:

Here is the car, it's a beaut. Only 14,000 miles FB 215 Standard. A winner.

The FB is the same coloue as my Morning grey 36,000 mile 215 Standard.

Seb's car has some great history.

I have a book full of History on the 9,000 mile car.

I will put up the story so far, when I can get time ..... plus scan all the info.
