I think I spotted the very rare dark blue one I'd seen before parked up, travelling along the A272 eastbound a few days ago ?

19th Jun - Aqua Blue leaving Oake Manor Golf Club about 7:20pm presumably having dropped off a teenager at the red carpet for their Prom. Looked lovely with the roof off and sun shining! I was in the hangers on car park by the entrance having transported various aging female relatives to cheer at the arrivals. I suspected the optics of an old man gawping at teenage girls with their bits hanging out probably wasn't good so I stayed in the car!

Medina (I think) - last Sunday (22nd June 2025) at ~15:00 local time heading East on the D670 from Libourne. I was the nutter in the white A5 heading West and belatedly shouting at you!
Also very close to the one and only speed camera that ever caught me.

At The Classics at the Castle (Sherborne) show yesterday


There was also another blue one with aftermarket wheels. Despite having its roof up it was interesting to me that it had all of the studs/fixings present for a tonneaux cover - never seen that before on an M100.

Actually, looking closer at the pics I think my memory has failed me again. It looks like silk red one has the after market wheels and also I think I see the tonneau fixing on the top of the instrument binnacle. So with the wheels, aux lights, tonneau, etc., someone has had a fine old time modifying that one. Should have taken more pics!

Probably some LEDs wired in with the sidelights - same on my black one. Fitted before I bought it but glad there are there as surprising how many people don't see a black car !

you can make the sidelights incredibly more bright by using white LED strips and adapting them to the enclosure.

Blue, mid July ish heading north on the M6 between Preston and Lancaster, looked great & really stood out in 3 lanes of dark gray/ black suvs.
(spotted from my dark grey suv )
wish I'd had the guts to use mine on my 225 mile commute, maybe next time...........
