Harry and I are on a factory tour on Thursday afternoon. If you give me some details It would give me great pleasure to get some pictures on my IPad which I can email you. Unfortunately, I am not a great photographer but I will do my best.

I've gone for a pretty basic spec. Sport red with black leather and a spare wheel. i was considering black wire wheels which used to be standard
Mines sport red with black leather and spare wheel....very nice combo. It's also got the black wire wheels which set the car off very well, but now a £850 extra

Brilliant! I don't have a build number but my name is Simon Orpen and it was ordered at Berrybrook in April. If I get a build number I'll let you know!
