Lovely car. The colour combination works well. What is the leather? It looks dark grey in some photos and brown in others. Using the narrow 4/4 (?) on the spare makes the rear look more classic. I think the spare is the same. In the photo it fills the entire space under the high level stop light so it must be a 205 width. Judging by the way they fill the wheel arch I am guessing they are 205/65 R15 as against the 205/60 R15 fitted to the 2010 Roadster.

Congratulations,
Nice Car, Nice Color.
Yours must be the first Roadster 3.7 in Germany, right?
I will be in Malvern to collect my new Roadster on Friday this week.
I spend a hard time till Friday.
Next week I will post also Somerset photos and let you know about my trip back to Germany.

Hi Shiremog,Ihave just noticed that when I turn the ignition on, my new Roadster displays its sidelights on even though the light stalk is in the off position.It is in the garage,so I don't know if there is a sensor.Is this the same for you.

Very nice.... Mine, which will look similar, is on its way. Seeing your pics doesn't help!  Please post up some driving impressions.

Just a follow up. My handbook refers to the 3l Roadster, so there's no info about the instruments. I found a handbook for the Mustang & it seems that the instrumentation & controls are virtually the same: http://owner.ford.com/servlet/ContentSer...p;model=Mustang

Thanks. My handbook is also for the 3.0L.I wonder if the sidelights being on all the time is a new safety feature.
