FINALLY ARRIVED!

After ten months in storage, I finally got it.





It had 102 miles on it and now it has 225. I love driving this beast. Its difficult not to drive it!

Congratulations! Very nice. The Pebble Beach week price adjustment looks to have hit in the last couple of days. 450k ask in SoCal.

Perusing many of the lots available at the auctions and I didn't run across a single FE. Good time to try for the moon I would say. I look forward to the day I show and sell mine at Pebble Beach. Not really, I'll be pretty damn old by then.

Congrats!

I love my FE.
Hard to keep the miles low, it's so fun to drive.

Congratulations!

It's a beautiful car. Why ten months in storage? Options and miles?

I spend a few months out of the year in Kenya and I was moving to a new house. It currently has 250 miles and keeping them low will be difficult. It is pretty much loaded the exception of the brakes and the B&O.
