    Yeah we received our 818s at the start of June, it took us a little bit time to set up a area to work on it at our work place (factory).

    Cooper, is the car finished or still building?
    Also you say #132 RHD, do you mean #132 since the first FFR 001 LHD or you mean it's the 132th RHD to come out the factory?
