    When the opportunity came, it appeared in a different form,
    and from a different direction than Barnes had expected. That is
    one of the tricks of opportunity. It has a sly habit of slipping in
    by the back door, and often comes disguised in the form of
    misfortune or temporary defeat. Perhaps this is why so many fail
    to recognise opportunity..

The touch screen and 360 surround camera make this car now near perfect. If you have the means and won’t go into debt, go get this classic while you still can. This is perhaps the most underrated GT car of our time. The quality of material rivals Aston Martin and other vehicles costing twice as much.
