I suspect the D5 had a factory towbar? If you spec that, you lose the diffuser.

It was a nice spec car - looked like it had Nappa and a leather dash.

Cheers and no worries. Yeah sure there will be another opportunity.

I took my Dad down - he's 70 now but still a real petrol head. Drives an M2! He loved Caffeine and Machine - first time he'd been but was really impressed. It's a great setup.

I think it's the angle of the photo as #286 had a diffuser when the current owner collected it from Sytner going off his pics.

That’s interesting. It definitely didn’t have the diffuser on as I noticed it too…..
