After a long wait, my wife finally took delivery of her 500 Abarth bespoke on Saturday!
As Jon Clapp was busy looking after Hozepipe, John Hutchinson looked after us and it was a great experience, well worth the 370 mile round trip.
Thanks to all at Vospers for keeping us up to date and lots of honest, straightforward advice.

I just can't decide if the FW/Titanium would be preferable to the Grey/White. Still too late now.
FW looks better in the flesh than I thought it would.

Not sure about the motor in the first pic though, John and your wife are standing there as proud as punch but nobody seems to have noticed that the paintwork is melting  |

That looks great, we have also chosen the same spec as yours but with 10 spokes.
Did you get to keep the cover it arrives in as in the first pic?
