Maybe I'll set up an auction at the annual met?

2016 Volvo V40 T5 Cross Country (4WD) with ALL the toys including adaptive cruise etc. etc. Osmium Grey with Blonde/Charcoal leather interior. Polestar performance "optimisation". (Even rarer than a D2 S8!) Oh, and a brand new engine at just under 30,000 miles on the factory one!
Finally: gone, but not forgotten.....
1998 D2 PF S8. Agate Grey/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)
1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon. Added Auto-dim mirror, Leather seats, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer.
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!

I think MJ's right, I'll double check when I get back (or maybe just look at a picture of my car instead...)

I've resolved things with the seller and are keeping these; I'll bring them to the meet.
Tjalling has first refusal on 2, there will be one more.

There's also a broken one (one of four retaining lugs missing) that also doesn't have the metal ring and is discoloured from a likely lacquer respray.
This might be salvageable and certainly could fit (after repainting) for "show".

A final thought on that last one; if there's much demand maybe it's useful as a model/comparison for another MJ 3D printing project?

Funny you mention that - I'm doing a commission for a set of custom centre caps at the weekend Getting the spring in the retaining lugs is the real challenge with these since the layered nature of FDM printing doesn't lend itself well to bending. I have some ideas though

So, sadly Tjalling didn't make it to the meet and I still have these; I'll dispose of them elsewhere unless there's some interest here?
