I assume you have STAR to programme all this stuff in ?
Indeed, not quite full access, but it's a Toughpad with 2023 DAS/Xentry  and a third party pass through box. I might upgrade the pass through to a genuine C5 unit along with newer software at some point, but it gets most things done :y
What you have is probably nearly as good as it gets on that age car anyway :y

Paging DG,

Saw this on my C&C roundup email, immediately thought of you  ;D

Auction Linky

I think I'd have to have it wrapped though, or possibly start a wedding car business...

It's a pretty rubbish advert though...

No seat ventilation, Distronic, Night Vision or panoramic roof. The only Designo thing about the interior are the floor mats. MoT history is, um, interesting and makes the lack of service history more suspicious. That said it does look exceptionally clean.

Rear entertainment and the fridge are pretty rare and it doesn't have the ABC suspension which is good.

Be interesting to see what it actually ends up at ..

I'm always drawn to not-three-litre-diesel-airport-taxi-spec saloons when they pop up, they usually have interesting backgrounds.  8)

It would be interesting to chat with the person that ordered it.
