I curious as to...

Hey RoyalJCW,

Congrats! Great options & color. I opted for the english leather w/my JCW MCS because I love the retro look and was hoping for the leather to be more durable than the "standard" leather upgrade. Haven't owned it long enough to test durability. FWIW, I prefer the English leather over the Checkmate interior. Silver top= very nice!

Regarding the first question, YGPM.

The second, I have a friend who pulls strings at The Mother Ship in München (Frau Dietz his secretary is actually doing the leg work) tracking down the final Oxford Works R53 run by VIN. Looks like there were very few North American-spec Works-equipped cars built in November. Yours would be one of these suckers.

Car looks great, BTW.

Let's see......which one would I respect and emulate?.......a genuine Checkmate or Checkmate wanna be poser with a JCW pedigree? JCW ALL THE WAY BABY! The Checkmate crew should be flattered by your set up.

nice looking car! and what a great time to take delivery! congrats!

i think it is cool that you added the checkmate graphics. i liked them too, but did not like the interior, and never thought that i could just add the graphics!

do you have any interior pics?
