I used to have a convertible - nice cars but as boring as fook (even with the traction control switched off).

It will be the pre-facelift model - fuck me, I can't afford the new shape !!! Seen 430's for about £15k without spaceship mileage

you will get a 55 for £20k well worth the extra , the normal V8's are very lazy

plus when you said the 430/500 model i assumed you meant the newer one as they dont make a 500 in the older model

Saw it in Park Lane, so assume that anyone who can afford to live there wouldn't put a sticker on the back saying it was something it wasn't !!! Maybe was a special order - not out the realms of possibility
