It does attract a certain sort of customer however, and they come and go at all hours of the night.... I think Hotel d'Angleterre around the corner on the lake is better in some ways.

Lots to see in Geneva as usual, and great to catch up with people! Some pictures :- They still haven't fixed the big water leak down at the lake. A lovely GT390 on the Ford stand, owned by a friend. The GT show car. Not sure I'd have picked that colour for the show. John's stunning new...

You are Frank, I claim my five pounds! For people that don't know UK history well, this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobby_Lud

They all look great but if you're going for the mountain look I expect snow, a chair lift....etc :lol

Well you can tell you're not American :lol Many thanks for that. It wasn't available to spec in Europe so it was hard to work out what the full list was. As you probably know Essex isn't the warmest place in the world so I could have probably survived in the car most of the time. Saying that...

It is a thing of beauty... So what a the differences to a 'normal' car and you can't spec as options (eg carbon wheels)? Carbon stripe No radio No aircon (aka the brave option) Carbon stick to hold open the boot Carbon mirrors That's all I can spot.

To quote the good Dr Frank, it's because red ones are faster! We'll both find out when my red J comes later this year ;-)

We're there on Thursday and Friday with McLaren. Hope to see you there John!

I've been told there's no access to the interior of the car this year. If it's up in the air I can understand why!

Lovely spec, looks brilliant. I thought you were on track for getting it last year with an 'H' chassis number? Glad you got it in the end!

Luckily for you I believe Germany is one of the cheapest places in Europe. I've been lead to believe it's only €550k for the basic car. :-)

Thanks Stuart, that’s a really useful and informative post - I didn’t know about the need for the airbag weight sensor to be re- calibrated. This is what I was initially concerned about, particularly on charity days when getting passengers in and out quickly is difficult enough as it is. They're...

Thanks chaps. Well I can confirm it's just the fixings with no belts as Dave surmised. We can have a whole long thread one day if you like, about regional pricing. Let's just say at best it's random... Change the $ to a £ and for a lot of the options you're about there. Ok maybe another 20% on...

Thanks. $1,800 though....hhmmmmm. Can someone take a couple of snaps of them please? Just trying to square this in my head.

Thanks John, if we're over we'll pop by!

Thanks guys for the responses, but still unclear if you’re getting them because you need them, or just because you think "well why not?" when they’re a relatively ‘cheap' option? Yes I know, but that doesn't answer my question of whether they're worth it or not, all the box ticking soon adds up...

I guess it depends if you think $1,800 is painful or not.

How many of you spec'd these and can you take a picture of them for me? For me I'm 50/50 at best on getting them and I don't want to spend £££ on something that if it really came to it, I could add afterwards.

Cool, I think regardless there aren't going to be many! Maybe we'll see you in Geneva? I'm 50/50 at the moment as it may depend what car Ford have available to look around. Finding out what they will have is proving as difficult as usual!

Yup, that's a nice touch. I hoped they'd do that after seeing the '66 car. Saw you on TopGear here in the UK last night, enjoyed the show greatly. Interested in where you got the 18 Heritages number from? Is that just the US or worldwide?
