Thanks very much Joe.
Just a question, I thought the 507 edition had the LSD diff, but I see no mention of it in the data card.

This is a common misconception. The LSD (option code 471) is a standalone option, and relatively rare in the wild.

Thanks again Joe.
So I'm guessing an aftermarket LSD would be the way to go.
Is Quaiffe the LSD of choice, or is there something else for the C63.
