Hopefully this practical classic feature will also increase the value of the cars in their ascension to rarity. I vote the R3 goes 😂

They do know that blue is the best colour? Seems a shame they want a red one :(

I suspect that the editor (who has requested this) has an image in mind for the cover and red will complement the other feature cars rather than look odd :(

Lets just tell him we have a nice white one for him instead which is completely standard and looks like its rolled off the production line ;)

My R3 is pretty much stock, though I'm not free on 27th, and someone would need to wash it first if they want to see it is VR.
