Flew to Atlanta on Friday to see it in person and sign all the papers. Should be on a truck to Austin in a week or so.

Was a bit surprised by the final price, but apparently, they had buyers walking in asking to pay $20k over for it. Yowsa.

Here are a few pics from the visit, also had one of the chalk-white examples come in on the same container. So glad I opted for black. The white looks like primer and diminishes the impact of the car up close. I just wasn't impressed.

Couple of odd things: I checked the box for a battery maintainer and they sent one with a UK plug on it. ??? They also put a gold airfilter cover on it, when I had specified black. I've not seen gold in any other pictures, so not sure what gives. Don't get me wrong, I actually like it, but who is reviewing the spec sheets before these get approval for delivery?

The dealer I bought through is swapping out the bracket for the headlamps, $1100. I almost want them to just ship it to me with the car and I'll do the work.

Small album here. More pictures will be available here once it gets to Austin. https://photos.app.goo.gl/p3Td8Z2pRh4USAg66

Great looking car, I see what you mean about the bling air filter luckily easily put right.
Enjoy your miles.

Congratulations! It looks good, and much better than the white.

That does look good. You are correct - the white one looks unfinished.

Very nice, but I'm a bit anxious of the massive headlamps blocking the airflow to the cylinder cooling fins, MTW's already have issues with running hot

Great looking car! I agree that the black looks better. Congratulations on the series number, 21. Nice coincidence on your car and the final year.

We need to have a Texas meet. My car has just about finished production. They still have to put on the Stage 1 kit and then ship it to Florida. I'll pick it up next month hopefully.

Yeah, stupid DOT rules. I can tell you that those Hellas throw a LOT of light out front. Took us a while to figure out how they came on. Push forward on the stalk.

I was also surprised at how involved swapping the headlamp brace is. It's tied to the front suspension mount points, so it's not as simple as I first expected.

There is a Morgan, TX. I'm thinking a photoshoot at the local post office would be pretty sweet.
