Default Lwb

My son is on holiday in Scotland at the moment and has just sent me this pic of a Cimmaron Green LWB V6 he spotted in Edinburgh.

A lot of people do not like this colour, but i do actually. it looks nice , especially when they have the sandstone trim....

Here's a link to the full sized photo and you can see that the rear wheel arch is damaged. And if you have a closer look at the wheels you'll also notice that the owner hasn't quite mastered the art of parking close to a kerb without hitting it!

Who gives a toss, there is nothing on that car that can't be repaired it looks to be a stunning looking motor, stop finding fault with it if it was for sale I would buy it and deal with any problems.

It must have cost MGR an absolute fortune to tool up for the LWB cars. I'm sure they didn't break even on them!

They made so few there was certainly no profit. The reason for this car uand the v8 version was to show a Chinese buyer their capabilites in developing cars.
