1998 D2 PF S8. AgateGrey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors.
e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later)

And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!

Last one from me.

http://www.jigsawplanet.com/?rc=play&pid=0798a9400884

This one might be a bit of a teaser, number 93 bus in Sutton, black and white. Took me quite a while to complete. Took my Dad even longer, and he used to drive them!

Cheers OP for alerting me to this jigsaw stuff.

My pathetic attempt took 42 mins, and I know what the photo looks like too! I doff my cap to you sir, my brain must be wired differently. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
