I did not have the time to travel to europe or the States to see cars before I buy them. I do not know how many of the present 8 LP owners had the opportunity to check the cars out before buying them.
I did , however , had the chance to check out the FS and Porsche before buying them.

Wow! That's crazy! I mean obviously you're busy, so time is precious, but still...I don't think I could ever buy a car just on word of mouth. Here's a website you may want to have some fun with the next time you're in the UK... Driving Experiences with Thruxton Motorsport Centre in Hampshire. Drive a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Aston Martin, racing cars and more.

I have seen him getting out of his house in his white lp640 like a month back .

This IS (or was) Amitabh Bacchan's SL500. The new owner has put AMG badges and V8 Kompressor badges on the car now. You can make out clearly this is not an AMG. Also I guess the roof has been painted black and its not a panoramic roof.

My apologies v10. Since you did'nt specify that it was modified by the buyer, I being a layman could not make out the difference. It's really sad that it's become an exotic poser! It's a sheep in wolfs clothing.

The bumpers, wheels, lights, exhausts are a dead giveaway! The car however is still in very good condition.

Here's a pic of Abhishek's CGT. Not blanking the plates since the pics are already in the papers.

More like a jackal in wolves' clothing! ;)

Saw two new S classes presumably 350's at their residence one white with the panoramic roof and the other the new blueish grey colour. the wheels were of the 350 and so i am guessing they are 350's. There was also the old shape X5 standing in the compound.
