Prod. Date 2016-08-06
6th Aug 2016 in real money
Seems like I am a little misinformed. You really did get one of the last production cars. Hope you got a good price :thumbsup:
I did :thumbsup:
It was all packaged up with disounts on the new car along with inflated trade in prices for the two cars I handed in.
I had to compromise on some details but nevertheless it was still very well equipped. The colour wasn’t first choice and I wanted Red leather but it’s still a nice car .

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:

I just checked mine: Prod. Date 2016-08-01 You must have been just behind me in the queue. ;-) I always wondered if I got the last RHD production car as it matched my spec from what I read online.

I would also like to know how far down the list I am!
Im sure the Vin has a code hidden inside it.

It does. Search for Vin decoder online and pop your Vin into it. They give you spec details and also the production date.

Yes I've done that but the number isn't sequential? Each digit of the total Vin refers to something in the build spec.

Dare I look ?
It was £53k last time I looked so if there’s more options available the cost isn’t going south!

I also think I would take a big hit on my 35is even tho it’s only done 8k so £/ mile would be horrendous.

But you would get a fantastic car for that price. Go for it :driving:
