Just walked up with a mate of mine and got some more pics. Too much reflection to get any interior shots.

LOL you have a real camera and you take phone pictures? Isn't it weird?!

So, are those AMV8 delivered to customers already or not? I saw one some weeks ago too and I am still wondering

You don't always take a digicam, ok, but you had it with you, so why to take a couple of pics with it and then with the phone too? LOL
And when you went out just to take pics of it the second time, why to use the phone?
I am not mad :D

No problem dude. I don't think interior shots are possible because there is too much reflection on the windows, but I`ll have a look later!! Does anyone know how to blank registration numbers in movies??

Great sighting, did you here it going?

I've seen/heard one running at full chat on the road recently and they sound awesome - different to just about any other V8 i've heard

Congrats for this "first" sight on the roads. I'm surprised they already delivered the V8 to customers. One month ago, (at a pre premiere in Zürich), there were only 2 existing cars, the yellow one (from the geneva carshow) and the grey/brown/whatever color from the video recently posted on JW.
So this really is one of the first delivered :D

My pics are still in process, I have few interiour pics, a video with the engine running, and 30+ HIres pics like

There were two actually at the Geneva motorshow. The other one was hidden in the back. It was a grey one. Probably the same as the second one you saw in Zürich.

^ :wink: I didn't saw the second (grey) one in Zürich, at that time, the AM guys told me there were only 2 existing (1 yellow and 1 grey) cars in the world (on promotion tour, the yellow one in south europe and the other in north europe) ...

Sorry I haven't responded in a while, I had to get a new hard drive. I lost the video and several more pictures because of this.
