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

Could be this one maybe? Bit more than 1k, but not by much ! Price estimate more realistic than the 20 mile example, but the same colour.

That looks very nice, it may have been nicer in dark blue or red then I would have been interested.

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.
