On the button, well done ! Yes !!
This must be the first set of tyres, and you are therefore looking at the rear tyre wear of that car in the last 13+ years since it was first driven on the road.
(I assume it was driven back from the dealership ??)
Would you like to see more ?
Chris is the wife away or have you got a dose?

Nice to see what it was meant to look like when it's new!!
However, lovely car as it is, I'm not sure how I feel about it, kind of sad in a way. You know this car will never be driven in a way it's meant to be. Destined to be a garage queen, almost like a death sentence for the car....

It is gorgeous though. Must be the only one left like this in the world!
I hear the car is being flown to Hong Kong where the new owner will have to pay first registration tax of 120% of the original (ie new) purchase price. Ouch!
Then again maybe he'll just stick it in a dehumidified garage

More I look at it, the better it looks!
In an ideal world, I'd have that one in a glass cage in the lounge and then another one exactly the same to use for trackdays! []

Nice pics, Chris.
It's a fantastic car in 'once in a lifetime' condition, no doubt.
It's a shame, I agree, that it probably won't be used in the future.... but I'm amazed that it wasn't used in the past!! At 1 year old (or 3, or 5) how could you go out to the dehumidified garage or barn, for a look see and not take it out for a shakedown! Ultimate discipline! Must have had a lot of other distractions in his collection! That said, the owner's getting his money back, and then some, in return for his stiff resolve []
On a housekeeping note, having lived in HK for a bit in the past, the new owner's going to need an industrial strength dehumidifier from about Feb to Oct! []
