No, only the same orange one that I sold before. Contrary to my own advice above I bought it back!

If I were repainting my car - I think I'd do Dr Nick's Orange - I just love that color - somehow it just looks right on a 928. A bit like how a fluorescent/pearlescent lime green can look really good on a Lambo...

I must say although Sterling obviously loved it - the Cognac color of the car was a major turn off for me - I just don't like browns... I imagine it looked better in person... still would be a deal breaker for me.

I also did not like the interior color (same reasons - but moreso). In some of his pictures the interior color matching seemed a bit off too.. .(e.g. shift boot) I know cameras sometimes do that - when to the eye they can seem to match perfectly...

Engine work was always very interesting to me - but still seems a work incomplete - hard to sell at all... impossible to feel good about what you can sell it for...

Oh yeah, now I get to stroke those GTS arches I paid £££ for

Andrew, even now I'm not sure what possessed me! But it's a done deal now, that car is sitting in bonded storage back home waiting to clear customs - god only knows how it will go with the on road inspection.

Stuart, there is a to do list already

It's a Lamborghini colour Arancio ??? (atlas I think) same as is on the murcielago. It's also pretty much identical to the orange Ford put on there 2.5 litre turbo Focus as it turns out.

I like that color, is yours a pearl? It is expensive paint if it is. Just never try and repair it. Also what are your impressions of those 19" wheels as far as driving dynamics? Have you got anymore pics of the car with them on?
