a very wise choice - Do have a great day tomorrow - are you driving it home? Perhaps we should line the route No Steven unfortunately not yet, as it is still waiting some bespoke parts before it is completely finished. Once I'm going to collect it finally, I'll let you know...

Thanks Jay. The other differences are chrome roll bars (rather than black) and cut down aero-screens like the first prototype. The color on the filter looks nice, is there also color on top of the engine or is that just the perspective playing tricks on me? Its nice that you can get the cut down aero screens, the original definitely looked better than the taller ones they produced later. Im glad to see that they gave you the option to go back to the old screen

Looking good are you going to keep us in suspense about the upholstery?

It is Rocket Red, like my Aero SS, but given the wine analogy it could be likened to Lambrusco as it is certainly red and frizzante!
Beautiful Brian, stunning! Can't wait to see it! And I have never before had to correct your spelling or use of English, but feel this time I really must. Surely you mean "... but given the whine analogy ..." 
Cheers

Can I add my congratulations to a fabulous choice of colour? That is going to look so good in the sunshine! I was wondering what upholstery you were going to pair it with too, are you going to keep us all in suspense or spill the beans?
Can we assume that other customer cars are now being built, or is the factory just doing the specials at this stage?

Brian, your car will I am sure look fantastic and am looking forward to seeing it in the flesh!
PaulJ, other customer cars are being built. I say this since I was advised by my dealer shortly before Xmas that my car was ready to go into the paintshop, but for a variety of reasons I pushed mine back.
One of the reasons is that living a long way from the factory in SW France I have decided, rightly or wrongly only time will tell, that initial teething problems/failures will make early ownership challenging. I am thinking in particular of drivetrain issues!
Cheers

Im glad to see that they gave you the option to go back to the old screen Thanks Krod, you are correct on the spacer piece on the top of the engine it is in body colour too. I believe having seen it in the flesh, so to speak, they are now going to offer it as an option. Regarding the screens, being a short-arse I don't need the higher screens and in any case, I think the shorter ones look better.
