I wouldn't let them anywhere near my baby! Production companies are not known for treating cars lent to them with much mechanical sympathy. The rapper has already minced an NSX.

I get that but we were paid quite well for the time and it’s not a car that’s wrapped in bubble wrap anyway so it’s no issue, it’s used daily and sits outside and is used for track days so whatever they threw at it I wasn’t fussed, although glad Naomi drove it!!

It’s not treated as a model car!!

We have had the 850 a mere 14 years, a long and expensive 14 years but it’s not off where it needs to be, will never be finished but are any of our cars! I have a track day booked next month for the 850, so no garage queen. Do you still have your 940?
Yes I still have the 940 with original Strathmore plates



I have a couple of old Strathmore keyrings as well
