Hi All

My dad is looking to sell his lovely California and purchase a California T. This will be a used buy, so he obviously wants to source one that's been well spec'd.

What are considered 'essential options' on the Cali-T and what are considered a bit crap (if any)?

Interior and Exterior colour is subjective, so not fussed with that.



A photo of his current one, just because its very nice smile :

I don't think the essentials changed. It used to be wheels, seats, shields, calipers, carbon led steering wheel. The standard seats on the new car are much nicer I think. Mine has backbone style which are nice enough and the daytonas don't look as good on the new model as they did on the old model I think

Contrast colour roof is nice on some colours. Carbon everything is of course an option. My car has leather headliner which I really don't see the benefit of. Apple car play is available in th 15 models I think - heard mixed reports on that

Why mixed reports on Apple car play? I am really looking forward to my next cars having it. I just never use the standard satnavs no matter how good they are as they are nowhere as connected as Waze... Even in BMW which are supposed to have real time traffic it's never as accurate. I just wish I could have it integrated in the car system as it ought to be by 2016...

So today my dad took delivery of a new (to him) California T.
First registered July 2015 with just 1,300 miles. As near as makes no difference a brand new car.

Its not by any means fully loaded with every option ticked, however is fairly well spec'd. We love it!

Very nice, is it the ex-HR Owen demo?

I have absolutely no idea - quite possibly though.

EDIT: Apparently it wasn't ex-demo but was from HR Owen.
