Hi all, yesterday in Nairn, main car park, side by side. CX 25 DTR TURBO, in silver, F800 SJU, straight out of the box, totally pristine ! And, a metallic red C6, 2375W, my Mauritius blue 2000, whereas dirt laden having ploughed through 6" snow for 15miles over the Dava, did compliment the line up. NO 'phone or camera with me ! Must look out for these again.

Good spot. Although being an anorak I think that that you mean it was F700 instead of F800 for the DTR Turbo 2 - it's a known car...

I love those, I had three all Safaris, the last was a turbo, I had it for 7 years and 150k+ miles, fantastic car to drive, although mine had a porous block which necessitated changing the head gasket about every 15k so that 10 gaskets while I owned it but it was worth it. Mind you they were a lot easier to change than anything we have now.

Hi Duke, it was indeed F700. Sorry for the typo.
