Those headrest badges make me wince , snort & laugh all at the same time :oops: shocking :cry: & the reverse colour with the red centre / black sides doesn't look right at all :? clearly they wanted to go 2 tone from original all black & the cheapest option was add red down the middle as opposed to trim the bolsters :thumbsdown:

It must be, the unicorn was on AF09 from Specialist Cars so too much to be a coincidence, good spot Steve :thumbsup:

If that is the only white roadster then that's got to be a good investment piece for someone. Get it back to all black interior and that's a lovely thing. :thumbsup:

Such a mismatch of interior and exterior colours, nothing goes with each other. Needs going back to standard to look nice. Just imo obviously. :)

Never worth 20k to these eyes :o I like the seats. :thumbsup: not a fan of the rest colour wise. Plus it has sat Nav which takes money off for me. :roll:

LD39915 is the chassis number of the only Alpine White ///M roadster to make it to the UK. It came with Brushed Aluminium trim and black leather. Interior has been ruined, which makes me think it could have been black. Would need some work to get it back to OEM.

Who can go and have a look at see if this is it?

Uses the same dealers as me and I work minutes away, never seen it once knocking about.

It's an hour to go see it though, if it was specialist I'd pop by tomorrow :(

I'd like to see it in real life - might get a different impression. Saw a rare dark green metallic coupe one year at the Nationals - looked a knockout 👍

With aero skirts, a drop and some CSL’s I think it would look much better.

Jingles car shows you how good a white roadster can look.

So did this definitely have an all black interior from new? If so, the red looks very well done. The door cards for example have the stitching line in the right place, looks factory.
