peter richards Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 i started out with a 2.0s, then a 2.8i , then a 2.8i special , then the brooklands 280, 280s had 15 inch alloys full recaro leather dark red piping , i think if memory serves me right there were only a 1038 280s made, funny number but they were all specials that were unsold when they finished making the car , they were shipped to cologne germany and changed into the 280s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
