Default Meeting at last!

My 555 hasnt seen daylight in three years after moving house and having to spend money on less fun things

Last night i had a visit from a fellow 555 owner and after i had shown him mine i felt guilty about the layer of dust.

Got the old girl out this morning and gave her a wash. I thought this would be a good chance for the two cars to meet for the first time

Lovely mate I do love the 555 but that white blob looks stunning I would struggle to pick 1 to drive lol !

All the blob needs is a roof vent

Your 555 Looks good mate!
Seems there are quite a few of these proper V2 555's around in the UK, given there were only 500 and all for the Jap home market!

Shame i cant post pics up of mine, though the bodywork on mine lets it down, i've had to spend the money on the mechanicals first but at least she's on the road and pulls like a missile with 326 horses lol
