So here, at last are some quick snaps - I know there are jobs to do, but smart enough for now?

I had a Turbo R some - years ago now - and not a special one! It was lovely, although just TOO big. I loved lots about it, but overall preferred the 4.0 Daimler I had at the same time. Bit of a case of "Never Drive You Dreams" to be honest, having wanted one for years, I wouldn't have another.

Arnage T is quite a different matter!

Drool...!

Seems to sit quite low, especially at the back. Is it supposed to do that?

960's do sit quite a bit lower than 940's (bloomin pain getting a trolley jack underneath actually!).

The photo's are a bit deceptive, it is the same height all round.

Well done Graeme enjoy it.
My slushbox auto 940 gets only 23, lovely to drive but it simply uses too many revs, you can't pop up to fifth at every available chance and there is plenty of slippage in the lower gears.

The quieter and generally more comfortable 960 sounds like a good option for auto drivers.

Lovely car and I really like the Olive Green.

I got mine on Thu and I love it but I remember driving them when new as my dad had one, so it's quite strange driving around in one 15 years later.

Hope you enjoy your 960.
