White 04 - at Chiswick

[Boomin33]

Saw a White with White roof 04 at Chiswick Honday this a.m.
Black Alloys - not Type R. Fixed roof.

Didn't know it was offered in White? iMPORT?

I took pics on phone but will take a while to figure out how to upload.

Very interesting...........

That's the one that has allegedly been scrapped ?? :no:

No wonder they didn't come back to me when I asked about the parts.

Looked pretty mint. other than some drink cups and empty crisp packs in the passenger seat.. so looked like it was being used regularly...

or slept in?

Thats the CRABBY one aint it?

Thats Nigel's old car which was apparently manufactured with wrong suspension geometry? He now owns the mint pearl white, 55 reg & one of the final 12.

Finally took pics off phone. err.. time to get a phone with a proper camera.

I think that 04 must have 9 lives the number of times its been rumoured to have been scrapped then reappears ........ and yes, it was the crabby one. TSO, its mint because thats how Nigel keeps his cars, and I'd guess this helped his discussions towards the Pearl beauty.

I saw V9 recently at Nortons where it was in for routine service. Not only rare white but also has dark red leather and red carpets like the other Magnum.

All white doesn't look right with wheels that dark, might work better with a black roof. An R style anthracite wheel finish might work or regular silver would suit it better.

I'd love to know how you can manufacture "wrong suspension geometry" to the point that the car might have to be scrapped. To warrant scrapping it'd have to be a bodyshell issue and I can't believe they'd get that wrong after 14yrs practice. Surely it can only duff suspension components ie wishbones, subframe etc which are all pretty simple to unbolt and replace.

Sounds to me like a bit off scaremongering must have gone on during the repair/replacement negotiation.

I wonder if everything was fixed. The dealer came down to 26.5K but it needed a good 5 to 10K to bring it back!
