I have to say that as somoen looking to buy when I was, I shied away from Pat's car, possibly wrongly. I hadnt ever seen it in the flesh and the tech cloth played on my mind. As I get more into GSs, the rarity has a great appeal. I ended up with a Nero Carb one which something like 30% of UK GSs came in. While I love it to bits and have yet to see another GS while I've been in mine, I still do wonder if I'd have been better off getting something a bit more daring, colour wise.
I'd like to have seen it in person.
