Recently (three weeks back) I bought a 2018 LCI just before the lock-down. Am loving the individual colour, extra range, the laser lights and central screen interface. All good so far...
Then this morning, Autocar wrote an article on the end of i8 production:

Interesting article that I read but halfway though I was amazed to see a photo of the car that I just bought featured within. Look at the link and my car is the Donington Grey Coupe. Well, that got my attention so I searched more and found this next link where Autocar tested the car as the "face-lifted model" in 2018.

So it looks like, unbeknownst to me, I bought an ex press car! Not really sure how I feel about it!! Has it been abused, launched, thrashed, ragged.... who knows!! At least I have some good photos of the car.
No one said it was a press car - it was sold as an ex demonstrator, one previous owner car but I am thinking now that it's had more drivers than Tiger Woods? Should I be pushing for an extended warranty or what?
