Its an understated beauty. Who would think it has all that HP under the bonnet. Looks like a standard car if you don't notice the exhausts or v8 on the sides.
Suspension does look high though. When I had 18 inch wheels on my cdti, it raised the car somewhat and looked too high off the ground. I replaced with 16 inch that suited it better although the 18 inch do fill the wheel arches better |

No .. None of his are up for sale it seems. Other cars in his collection include 3 E Types and a Jenson Interceptor but he also has other exotics squirreled away by all accounts. Extensive motorcycle collection as well!

It certainly is. A real Q-car with a lovely purposeful stance.
