Lovely looking car, same as mine 
except for the wheels.
You got yourself the Ltd Edition plaque yet ?
Not yet. Although not sure I will...
a) not sure where I'd put it
b) on howmanyleft it shows there are approx 2200 edition 30s... so is the plaque really worth it.. 2200 is still fairly limited, but the plaque reads 'of 1500' doesnt it?
build thread - will do.
Aim this year is to get baseline figures for power/performance and make sure it runs well. Then figure out what I want to do with it... so this year will just be maintenance really. Maybe a few posts on dyno charts, 1/4 mile times, handling findings. The mods will come later.
It does appear to be a nice example! It has the usual blemishes just starting (front arches, tailgate badge) etc... but it has been looked at by my local dealer and warranty case submitted. They found the paint all to be original (phew!), but I can see it needs a ruddy good wash, clay, polish, wax. The paint looks like it has never been polished (or if it has - then it was done badly lol).
Interior is mint, leather still soft, although there is dust in little dashboard/vent crevices etc that I'll try to tease out with some interior foam and a soft bristle brush.
All to be done bit by bit. This will be a gradual improvement car - having 4 month old twins at home means I cant justify spending a lot of time on the car at the moment. In the past - before children, a 8 hour session of diy detailing would not have been uncommon.. and before the wife... 4 days non-stop of working on the car/engine rebuilds etc would not be uncommon lol. Now I am lucky to get 15 mins to go put fuel in it!
