"The detail on these wheels is crazy," I think as I reach out to stroke the hundreds of fillets framing each hole. "Bet they"d be an arse to clean." I drop to my knees to really get my nose in there, then flop onto my back, arms swatting at thin air as I gawp at the four cannon exhausts and admire the carbon weave on the diffuser. At this point I remember I"m not on an empty boardwalk under the Brooklyn Bridge exploring a new Lamborghini, as my eyes would have me believe, but in a small meeting room on the outskirts of Coventry surrounded by important people I"ve just met. Virtual reality is a wondrous thing, but it doesn"t half make you look like a tit. I"m here, on my knees, blindfolded in front of six men, because when gathering and researching the retro wish list you"ve just read, I uttered those immortal words: "It can"t be that hard, can it?" It" being a retro reimagining of an automotive icon, rebirthing something lustworthy from the past into the modern age.
