I think this quote sums it up perfectly for me (and probably quite a few of you too?)

"I’m sure it’ll get snapped up by some Gen X millionaire who had a poster of this on his wall as a kid! I qualify as the Gen X kid, just not the other bit… So close, yet so far."

Seeing as it's Federal spec, I was kind of hoping it would have the nose spoiler on it too.....that really does it for me. My ultimate is the completlely clean look of the LP400, but if we're looking at the 80's variants then it'll have to be the full fat US spec one please. ;D

Ive driven one of those suckers (not any prototype one tho) and let me tell you....it was a complete son of a b!tch to drive!
On the open road it wasnt too bad but in traffic it was a killer, I got stuck in a motorway traffic jam and by the time wed finished crawling along at 5mph I was a nervous wreck!
The clutch was like a lead weight, the seats gave zero lower back support, you had no idea where the end of the bonnet was, the aircon was non-existent (and the airflow through the tiny gap in the windows was paltry, the gearbox was a complete sod, the mirrors gave a great view of the air intakes and spoiler (not much else) and EVERYBODY was staring at me all the time!

I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!
