So its been almost month since I picked up the MC Victory from Richard Grace. 650 miles on the clock and so far no regrets at all. Its spent 4 days at Autofficina getting some some niggles ironed out and 5 days at Miracle Detail getting the paint work repaired and sealed. I have just returned from picking her up so I thought I'd take some pictures while she is still in great shape (taken after a 20 mile drive in the wet - but water just rolls off now). Not a great day for pics but I took them anyway.

While I was picking her up I noticed that Paul Dalton was working on another car - the same car that was on the cover of Top Gear maagzine which I had in my hands - Ferrari Laferrari. The list price is around £1m and I expect its worth a lot more given its a sell out. I was able to have a good look round it and its truly stunning - the new Enzo.

Looks great. I like the dash top and steering wheel combo, and the seats, and the.........

Quick update. Car drives like a dream. I have done 1200 miles since picking her up. Small niggles that I have been sorting out :
- Car detailed and paint restored to concours condition. Sealed with Modesta compound
- Stripped and repainted wheels due to paint flaking and touched up small stone chips on mirrors and body work
- Replaced faulty brake switch and air bag off switches
- realigned steering and rebalanced wheels
- new indicator light
- reset both door windows to remove rattle

Current niggles
- noisy heater fan, will sort out at main service
- various rattles in cab (seem to be temperature dependent so hard to track down). One on the clock, one near passenger door in head lining and one in drivers side heater vent.

Future Upgrades
- still waiting for Phillips HD bulbs to come
- Larini exhaust system
- Bluetooth / sat nav system to replace factory Becker radio unit

For anyone who is interested 109 of the 181 cars have been tracked down. There are 13 in the UK according to How Many Left. None on the market in the UK but around 6 for sale in Europe.

Good stuff... :)

The rattle on the clock may well be the clock itself, they are pretty crummy inside; the Larini's will resolve that :D

Noise near drivers side vent may well be the screw cover in the pull leaver in the drivers door...was on mine.
