Oh! OK, That saying is used quite often when praising something or someones individual performance and I meant it in that context, I didn't think anyone would analyse as close as you have,

When did you become such a bookworm Mr Hadland?

A mag featured a BBR ( i think ) saph years ago they called it Mogul 500 iirc. Was dark green with gold coachlines. Something different and looked stunning.
All magenta saphs tick my box or any race RS500 Eggenberger etc..

I used to love Ryans 3dr (such a shame ) for standard looks

But my favourite of all are the touring car 3dr's, and these 2 in perticular.

Awesome machines

Charlie perhaps 'fit for purpose' would have been better. Im still amazed that 3 years after it last ran that it gets so much publicity across the globe. The 5th gear video is passed 300,000 hits thats over 500 a day & my google alert still shows it is still being talked about across the globe in various Forums.
