such a beautiful car, especially in Coupe form. I have AA's
Series III V12 Roadster and as nice as it is, there seems to be quite a bit more detail in this Signature Level Series I.

The level is a step up from earlier releases..........
I got one of the roadsters as well and they are both very finely turned out indeed.

Frank, did you take a photograph of the inside of the rear side openning door?
Thank you for some great pictures of this long awaited model.

How is this?
not the best photo I've ever taken but I think you can get an idea.

I love it in BRG. Pretty good detail as I see screw heads for the trim surrounding the lights!

How much is too much..............
I know some collectors would have liked to have seen this car a bit less detailed and at a better price while others would have liked to have seen it even more detailed than it is.
This car hits that 'sweet spot' for me on the detailing and finish front - except for the too small tires.
You point out a good example of where 'picking your spots' with details can maximize impact. They made an excellent decision to give us tat little extra around the lights where it is front and center rather giving us a bit more detail under the bonnet.

Is the nose a tad too high off the ground?

Thank you, Frank

I think it might be......
but it might be that the rear is actually a bit low. It is hard to really judge because of the 'too little' tires.
It is very easy to 'adjust' the front ride height. all you need to do is put shims under the torsion bars.

I agree with you Frank. I'd rather have a bit less detail where it's not readily seen. I have the AA series III and was surprised to see the 'screw' detailing on the signal lenses.

Gorgeous car and better pictures. Thanks for posting.

A sleek beauty and an all-time styling icon.

The clumsy Burago type rear door hinge doesn't bother you?

There are two "B's" in Bburago
Bburago is the correct spelling, ostensibly standing for both the town name, Burago di Molgora, spelt with one "B", as well as the name of the Besana family that originally owned the company.
