That was an excellent spot of my 2004 TDI, as I rarely get to Measham but had briefly dropped my bike in for a service nearby due to the rain putting me off cycling.
The A2 was purchased in June from the south coast and is giving me loads of smiles being my first A2.
Glad you liked the look of it, perhaps the wet was disguising the lacquer peel. One of many jobs on my to do list.
There's a good one nearby in Heather
