The first thing I noticed is that the height of the roof (top of windows to top of roof) is much greater, and when passing the car it certainly seems longer. From behind, the car had a two tone effect with black/dark graphite around the rear light clusters (and the rest in red). The guy seemed to be in a hurry so I knew I couldn't turn around, follow and get a shot.

It looked as though the car was a finished product, although the separate black around the rear lights made it look as though it was a concept car with tape around it.

My sales manager got up close to one on the way home last week it was at the BP garage in Blackpool getting fuel. it had tape to disguise the rear bits... the driver worked at Oxford plant!!

we have full spec and colour samples arrived today of the clubman exclusive Hot Chocolate!!
