Thanks guys! Yes, I have a good camera. I won't be shy with photos! I'll do a shoot of the Superleggera and V12 together. Very very excited!

Thanks Ludas. It will be the first delivery my country

@Mo: I agree, Vantage design is stunning. Now it fills all the boxes for me, right looks, right performance, right displacement

Hi Alz,

Here is the final specifications. B&O is only going to be available on cars that go into build from this month onwards. I was contemplating postponing my build for that option (I think the pop-up tweeters are cool ), but then again I am not a big sound guy - so it didn't really make any sense. BTW fast track is alcantara.

Thanks everybody. I have requested some photos of the car while it is still in the UK at the factory. The dealer will see what he can do for me.

It just means it still has that element in the 12V socket and I get the crystal ashtray. It looks way better than the ugly plastic plug that would instead be covering the 12V socket.

I'm not a smoker either nor would I let anyone near my cars with a cigarette!
