Might I have seen your car at AV yesterday? Or was it FER550M?
Yes it’s mine. He and Ed are putting the car right. Despite an PPI done at the time I bought the car last year, quite a few things were missed. They came up with a list of 14 items to be rectified. Including a head gasket.
She’ll be perfect after that and needs to be as she’s a keeper!

I saw rather more of your car, and the engine block sat on the side, than you would have liked. But what a car.

It’s a brilliant car. AV has been amazing and has sent me pictures, videos and I have been on video calls with them as the work progressed.
The car has received a proper pain job as well as there were a few chips here and there around the car.
Cannot wait for the lock down to be over to take her out on the roads and start amortising that service invoice :)

Even if the 550 costs a bit at AV, you know you bought it very well, so the overall cost will be fine. And if it’s to be a keeper, it’s best to get it all correct at the start, as then it’s relatively cheap/easy to keep on top of it.

Tom (on here) has that on his Strad. Well, either that or MC 57RAD, I can’t remember which. Looks great though.

My GTS had MA53 GTS. It meant something without looking like it was trying too hard.

MC51 or 57RAD are both most excellent.
