It is very shiny black, top spec Legende. James May summed them up according to wiki....."It has 248bhp, weighs the square root of diddly, and is the greatest thing to come out of France since the Mouli cheese grater."

Reviewing the possibilities for the best thing to come out of France I realised that the answer is very subjective. However I persisted and, for me, narrowed it down to a choice from two: The Metric System or Brigitte Bardot :-D Please vote below!! or name your own top two!! :-D
