Well, after our pub meet today we went down the hill to SMC in High Wycombe. They had 2 orange LE500's inside the showroom and a lovely white one outside. The sales manager was outside as the line of 10 MGF/TF's turned up, and everyone looked round with the noise of the exhausts!!!
It turns out they have sold 8 LE500's this weekend, so they are very happy. And infact it now means there are no more white LE500's available. There is one dealership that has a white one, and 2 other dealers are busy bidding to buy it from them and are currently £1000 over list price.
We had great fun down there, and they were very welcoming, although I was very attracted to buying the BitterSweat ZT260 on the forecourt, but it was a little over priced!
Anyway, here are some pics. The dealership also took some pictures of us as aa group with all of our cars lined up around the LE500 and the F Register flag, but I will post those pics once they email them to me.

Re: SMS visits SMC
looks like you all had a good time - SMC hasn't changed much from when I collected my 260 last July!
think I know where the white one is, and it's not far from me!

Re: SMS visits SMC
Really was a good showing down there for us lot! Just wish i had a camera to get the look on the guys face as we all pulled in. Amazed is an understatement, but they were very welcoming.

Re: SMS visits SMC
The postman has delivered a 'Thank You' card today from SMC High Wycombe.
Dear Stewart,
Many thanks to you and your fellow club members for your visit yesterday. I really did enjoy the atmosphere and your presence added to the sense of occassion for the weekend. I'm only sorry that I was with customers at the time and was unable to spend time talking to you all.
Hope you all felt it was worth it. We will be handing out the free mags and membership details to the new owners.
Lindsay
