It happened when I got the car a few months back and someone else said the same again today.........Not guilty M'lud  However I am not baffled at why I've been asked this, there is not a hint of carbon residue to be found in it. Must be running very frugally but obviously not too lean I'd hope. Any other Sigma users found this? As an aside, first time out in it for a few months and a super Autumn blat has just been had!!

Lovely pic Kenny! Yes I too have noticed how " cleanly" the Sigma runs. Sure does save me having to clean the end of its tailpipe

Kenny, polishing tailpipes is something to be proud of....  Think what you could do it you DID polish them! It also looks as if the silencer bodies should be polished. Actually, looking at your car again I think that the silencer and tailpipe should be burnished brass, to go with the wheel nuts!

I have to say, that is almost the most beautiful car I have ever seen  My car does make a slight black soot on the inside of the pipe now, but that’s after 6k miles. I have had to polish the can a few times, the farmers have struggled with the end of the harvest, the roads are plastered with dubs. ps. Did you deliberately flip the little retainers for the leather straps the wrong way just to annoy me?

They are seriously polished pipes Pete, Respect, your car is a one off!!

The way the little toneau fit's annoys me but I can't do bugger all about that

The duez quarter turn thingys which fasten our four leather straps, surely they should be flapped back the way, not forward?

Oh, and I know what you mean about the tonneau, I sometimes roll the first clip underneath if I want the seat reclined that far back, it stops it flapping at speed.
