Saw 2 Gs in Auld Reekie yesterday whilst my 500 was parked up. Dark green 460 300 SWB parked on street in New Town and another dark green, this time a LWB 463 (500?), driving down Leith Walk. Anyone on this forum?

Thanks S&D. Thought one might have been Fredecosse! No news on the 460 - it had an Edinburgh parking permit so must be local.

The 500 could have been me, but the dark green 460, I have never seen in the new town  ..!!! You sure it wasnt a late 463 ?? there is a 300ge there ... it's a one owner from new .... :-)

Or a light blue 460 that is mine too ... :-)

Thanks Fred - my mistake, on reflection, think it probably was a 463 not 460 in New Town. Reg started with N. Must be the 300 - looked in good nick! Love your deli by the way - often call in when we're visiting Edi from up north. Huw

Yes the picture is my G - not a 270 but a thirsty 1999 500! Will say hi next time I'm in your deli (or restaurant), :-)
