Doesn't really do much for me. For the same price, I'd still go for the Coupe.

Beautiful green, kind of pops like IRR does in the sun.

Poor 'orange peel' stripe though! For the price, it would need to be better than that, surely?

I'm not a bit jealous that I missed buying one by an inch!

Agreed! (And not even a flat-bottomed steering wheel!).

I do like the seats though. Especially if the quilted inserts are perforated.

And of course the grill is an improvement. Hoping someone makes an aftermarket grill that deletes the center bar. I know there is structure behind the bar but that structure could be replaced too, perhaps with a perforated panel that fills the entire grill opening. It is just rivets and glue.

I like it, I like the seats, I like the hump, I like CF inserts, like the spoiler, like the front fascia ... beyond that not much different from my vert.

As soon as you drive it you would realise it's not like your vert
I had my first drive of the Project 7 at GAydon proving ground and I couldn't believe the difference from my V8 vert
The handling is so much better and the turn in so much better
I just felt so much more confident in the corners and at over 100mph in the wet it had to be😃
Only negative, my car has been delayed from Sep 2015 to late Feb 2016 😠😠😖

I already have my VIN number, Jaguar says" end of October". My contact at SVO is checking on my cars progress.

That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

Good! If you have the VIN then there is a frame someplace on the floor or better. Have you checked WW lately?

Yes I did yesterday and today. Nothing yet. If W&W do not have it in their system it still has to be at SVO.

Since they take R's off the line to convert to 7's I should be in the line at SVO

My source at SVO replied.

"Any luck checking the VIN?

I haven't forgot you mate. Just wanna make sure info given is both accurate and not gonna get me in the **** lol. Got the workshop project 7 supervisor looking into getting you official info. Meanwhile i can safely tell you most of canadian cars are shipped.

Cheers and will let you know when i do.
