I havent got the number to hand... Think it is 274... Not sure. I will check when I pick it up. Think its under the mini visor above the mirror...

Apologies if I sound a bit unsure... Only took it out last night and was blown away!!! Think it has had the PPP also... But again not sure

i had no.301 - the last one afaik! made a good first scooby. You will know if it has the ppp as you should get the certificate, you can also look for the prdrive hosing coming from the intercooler

Welcome to UK300 owership, I have owned car 002 from new, never missed a beat. Check for blue silicone pipe under the intercooler should say prodrive on it. This will be good indication that the car has PPP. Any more questions drop me a mail.

Thanks everyone for your welcome!

Cant wait to pick it up now!!!

Did all these UK300's have the same exhaust as this one? It sounds spot on. Not too loud when at low revs but when you give it some it sounds awesome!

Cheers

If your car has PPP which was a £1600 dealer fit option after first registration it will also have a certificate. Standard back box was twin pipe affair which if "PPP" was fitted was replaced with a 3" round with the word "Prodrive" engraved across the top. From the pictures looks like this has been replaced with an aftermarket version.

Mine is number 288. It doesnt have a badge on the small visor above the rear view mirror though

I also checked the exhaust and its one of these: http://www.meganracing.com/products/...d=366&catid=91
