    I like the green S3, wonder what they're asking for it? Could use some resto I see.

    Here you can see that Marcello Gandini is the best designer of all time.

    Image Unavailable, Please Login Just finished the paint.
    Now need to start the assembly to #9235.
    Someone here on F-chat did a terrible paint job of Fly-Yellow plus full of trouble that was never properly dealt with.
    I took back to the original gold.
    See you all soon on the road!

    Nice to see, although I would have expected the chassis number to be 9234...

    Wow that was an exciting report from the factory ... NOT!

    Hopefully there's better than that around in terms of photos?
    I haven't seen anything great as yet from The Quail's honoring of the Islero and Espada either though so ...

    The mirrors on that green Espada are from certain BMWs of the 70's such as the 3.0 CS Coupe and 2002. The are are called the "flag" mirrors for the general shape and to distinguish them from the "trap" (for trapezoidal) mirrors which preceded them and sometimes overlapped in time along model lines.

    To my eye, the Vitaloni much better suit the lines of the Espada and look far less clumsy than those flag mirrors, which appear heavy-handed on the Espada...
