Interested that it was listed with a gearbox problem at over 300,000 miles; do we open a book on whether it's the F125 switch or something more serious?

Question, probably for Ian: I understood there were only three (known?) Merlin Purple D2s in the UK. PMS have broken one at least, or is it two? Is this car number 4 of 3?

I'm picking it up on Wednesday. It won't move in limp mode so very likely clutch drum failure. 99% sure it'll get a manual swap

This is the fourth one to my knowledge, and I've not seen it before.

PMS broke 1 (cat C side impact, I really, really want to save it..... sigh)
Mikes
This one
and there is another I saw at Castle combe a few years back. Very basic spec S8. Not seen it since personally. It wasn't with 'us' we just spotted it heading out the track from memory.

Certainly a rare colour. Weird spec too. Lots of boxes ticked, then no Bose and no TV tuner - Both of which are extremely common on the D2 S8...

There’s a chap in Scotland with Merlin purple one as well. Not sure if he’s on here but his name is Stewart from memory. His is slightly modified and it looks mint.
