Hi Tom ..so far everything in car works and will stay in car as long as it works..i think the simple things with the car are very appealing to me as my S60 got so many gagdets that can go wrong canbe a headache lol..shame Tiffany aint got power steering my ruddy biceps are over developing lol..

That's a lovely looking car, I've never been a great fan of red, but this one and meintag's have made me change my mind.

Very nice car Mo... but I've seen the pictures on the VOC and the kids need some credit for their valeting skills

Wow, what a beut! The paint looks great, as does the interior and the underside! Looks better than mine!
Have you got a garage to keep her in so the paint doesn't fade unlike most red 300's?
Look after her

Keep it standard and enjoy,
