Couldn't keep away from having an R8 for too long so I took the plunge and brought this one. Unless an ultra rare model tempts me this will be my last purchase :tt2

I love to see Tahiti on a hatchback. Works surprisingly well in Duo-tone.

I see you found a low-miler :clapping I'm not sure I'd have been able to resist that car if I'd found it either.

Get some leather food rubber into those front seat bolsters as you've probably got the best half-leather SEi interior in existence!

Looks great! Be nice to get this, mine and Paul’s SEi’s together at some point.

Yeah just 27,000 miles.

What leather stuff would you recommend?

Once or twice I nearly had an sei. Loved them. The seats and wheels made it. Just had to make do with an si and then an sli. That is lovely Btw.

Thanks. I've had one before and always loved them. This being low mileage and massive amounts of history drew me to it. Literally have every bill ever spent on it :clapping

Inside is immaculate except the normal sagging headlining.

Outside is like 90% good.
