Re: New arrival - P380 AWD Convertible

I'm not sure. It's a '68' plate (September 2018) but it has the older type infotainment system so I guess was made in early 2018. If it has the 8" screen it was likely made in early 2017, as they were fitted to the early MY18s. You can check the MY from digit 10 of your VIN - H is MY2017, J fo...

Re: Which V8 F Type is best
