That looks lovely.
I know its retro but the steering wheel and handbrake look a bit out of place in that interior.

Well that was quite the experience! Don't think I've ever been stared at so much Only a short 20 min drive to fill it up, but for sure 20 minutes that I'll remember for a while. Mostly perhaps for being slightly terrified! I've driven his 288 gto he used to have which was probably worth similar to this, but this eagle feels so dainty. Luckily it's fairly narrow which was welcome considering most of the roads I had to drive on.
Little opportunity to really extend it, but on the occasions we could the noise was magnificent Not a million miles away from what mine sounds like (both straight sixes after all with some nice induction), but almost a baritone version of it, so rich sounding, yum.
There are other similarties to the Z of course in the layout, which made me feel pretty at home with it immediately, same long bonnet, rearwards seating position etc. What I wasn't prepared for was the unassisted steering and brakes. The steering was so delicate around the straight ahead position but loaded up significantly in the corners. I'd love some time to get used to it, the owner said it took him a month or so to fully get into the car's groove. He's in love with it now it's fair to say. I can see why.
The suspension had an awesome setup for british b roads, superb damping and ride, not that much roll but a noticeable dive under braking, I guess that's part of the compromise. Unassisted AP brakes were fantastic, big difference in pedal input compared to mine which foxed me slightly first stop
Quibles? Well, for me the brake pedal was way too high relative to the accelerator and absolutely no room in the pedal box for my size 10s to heel and toe on the downshift, which was a shame. The gearbox, had shall we say, a rather wide gait, and it didn't like to be hurried really. I'm sure that's something you would get used to though with familarity.
A fascinating way to spend that sort of cash, personally I wouldn't, it's very special, but £1m special I'm not so sure.
I'll never to be able to afford it though so really my opinion counts for zip I'll take the memories though
