So I would say out of a whopping 883 made, whilst still exclusive, I'm sure I'll find a one to suit me, I'm in no particular hurry, don't need to make any rash decisions, as this will be a car I will keep for a very long time.
I am very fussy when it comes to cars, no car of mine has EVER been in the hands of a mechanic during my ownership, and if I say so myself NEVER will, and it has to be fairly spot on to keep me happy.
I hope this clears up a few misunderstandings, and to V8 owners there really is no need to get all excited, after all at the end of the day, they are just cars, plain and simple

Good luck with the search and hope you'll find one.
Being fussy I can understand, I do all the maintenance myself as well.
It's amazing what you find even if it comes with FSH
Only time it sees a workshop is for the MoT.

Mine is a daily driver and lives outside.
As you say it's a car afterall

Grrr

Hi John, I'd discussed this option of "diplomatic immunity", but in reverse, with my uncle, when I was in Paris, earlier this year

Tax on. My 260 due 1-1-12. £260. That's bad enough let alone the higher rate

Yes, but at least it's only £15 P.A. more than my 1800 turbo
