Snapped this on a visit to the Factory yesterday  On the way home caught a few rays of sun and took a pic of my Red Roadster looking quite at home in the Malverns.

One of the last of the 4/4 Sport at the top? Your car looks good in the sunshine

Hi Graham, no not a Sport, 75th Anniversary 4/4, note the bonnet decals and 185/70 Avons, looks better in red but then I would say that!

Nice to see your car out in the sun! I must get over to the factory sometime....!!
Interesting the tyres on the 4/4...I wondered if the standard 165/80s can be replaced with the 185/70s on the same rims without clearance problems. Obviously they can be.

The 4/4 looks really smart with the black contrast band -- shame it is missing the sidelights on top of the wings though!!!!!

The anniversary 44 does look attractive, I wondered how the graphics would look on a lighter colour and it looks well. The graphics looked a bit lost on the launch black version. Your Roadster looks pretty good as well.

Is that Jubilee Drive in the last photo? I'm not sure, Chase Road? though it was a tight left turn at the end, I had to have 3 bites at it. Here's another view looking up hill

Why is the top up then?? Guilty as charged! Left home under a grey sky, didn't for a moment think I'd get the top down so was only wearing a thin sweater, no beret or gloves either  I needn't have worried - the currant bun wasn't out for more than 10 mins before normal February (overcast and cold) service was resumed
