Looks beyond lovely. Keep it away from me, I like fastbacks and I don't want to be persuaded into saloons by pretty, shiny red turbocharged loveliness, which I could see that doing to me. Hell, since I saw this I just went on and spotted the other red P reg saloon on there and went 'hmmmm, ooooooh.'...

Marvelous. Your engine bay pics have just inadvertantly helped me mid reassembly doing the alternator on this 827. Mucho grazie!
