lovely interior

what's the story behind the scary tyre ?
Sorry, it was just a picture of the old tyres. They looked ok in terms of tread depth, they were dated 2015. Rubber was starting to perish and split. I hadn't noticed this until they came off. Equally I didn't examine them closely as I tend to always put on new tyres on my cars and with the age of them they were coming off.

Bit of a departure from the 911.

I was referring to the 911 in the second photo…

I think I may have driven that RS, does it have floor jacks built in?
No, must be another car. I have owned the car since 2015.
It would have been pre 2015. You don’t see many in black.

Great cars.

i remember this car (assuming it's the same!) sat with Safwat cars for quite some time before it vanished and then was on CC.

no idea why as i think the spec and colour combo were just perfect.

Enjoy in good health! Please keep us updated on your ownership journey,

Nice bit of oppo too.

I spun the black one I drove on track but we later found the diff was worn and became snappy - I was provoking it.

Thanks for posting the link. I didn't have that so it's nice to see and have on file.

I flew from Glasgow to Stansted and took a taxi to Safwat cars to collect the car, they had it there in storage. Enjoyable drive home and a good way to start to get a feel for the car.



Taken on the A66 heading across country.

It is a lovely place to sit, the interior is warm and I think it suits the nature of the car as a GT.

Thanks

This is Tamara Ecclestone's old car isn't it?

Was at a local dealer to me, I checked it out, lovely interior.
