This looks like a very special car! The aesthetics are right. My 2014 4/4 has a much wider rear axle. For this reason my car looks like it narrows towards the front. Dominic Riley must have had some influence on the construction of the car. Maybe the MMC in a shed still had a Salisbury rear axle. So they could fit narrower rear fenders. Really! an extraordinary car. My 2014 has a BTR axle which is unfortunately a bit wider and therefore it is compelling that the rear was built so broad with my car. Your car looks like a "one off" with correct shape like the first series of the Sigma 4/4 called Sport and all the other 4/4 series before. Apart from that I still love my 4/4 of 2014. Here a pic to compare the wideness of the rear wings. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/09/08/4E59EB51-1359-4710-BEE5-28B9B2D47C42.png) Heinz, I don't recall seeing a proper photo of you Mog, is that a grey hood ? looks super with the body colour

Jon, it is a standard black everflex. May be more often the angle of the sunlight reflexion let it appear more in a shade of grey. Yes and thanks, it works nicely together. What looks like this by chance could be perhaps positively enhanced if someone would actually use a really grey-tone hood for this body color.
@jatinder dhesi, what I also like very much on your car is that that it keeps a very fine balance. The color is very beautiful and also intense in my view. That is why I like the fact that there is no more chrome in the body, e.g. overrider. The wheels concentrate on the chrome. All in all a very well done composition.

It was owned by Dominic Riley ex Morgan Chairman. Too nice not to share. I think only a few of these GDi engine Plus 4's were ever made mine is in Ferrari Tour de France blue. Absolutely stunning

Here a pic to compare the wideness of the rear wings. Look at the tyres Heinz. The clue might be there. The 4/4 cut with std 165 tyres makes a slightly narrower profile than the 185/70's of the narrow Plus 4. It's also unusual to have a narrow Plus 4 without a spare wheel. The clue is the gap between headlamp and cowl, which on the 4/4 is almost non existant but on the narrow Plus 4 is noticeably wider. We'll never know the true numbers of this model, which began with the 4/4 75th Anniversary cars in white, black and red, (plus one yellow). All these should have had five black wires, and 185/70's, no over-riders and a black grille. With the nine studded hood. The reason that not many were built is that the price was significantly higher than the standard Plus 4. A big part of that was the Avon "performance" tyres. I tried to get the standard Plus 4 crosshead on my build, so that the footprint would be more rectangular, but despite my best efforts, I just missed it being fitted, so I got the narrow front frame.

Well done that is a choice model, you may have to call it cossy with that number plate.
