Picked up the car from quarantine this evening and it’s perfect! I’m a very happy chappy 🙂
I’m really lost for words, I never imagined or even dreamt of owing a V-SPEC2, particularly in such splendid condition! Even just taking a drive in a GTR was a dream a few years ago… Thanks again for everything Geoff. The GTR is amazing !! Best Regards, Chris
