There are now 3 T.50s at Topaz Detailing London, so it seems like customer deliveries have started for real.
There is this silver one - which was the second car built - then there is the grey one on the right, and after that there is what looks like a black one behind that (not visible in this photo). Additionally, from the factory photos there was also a dark blue one that had already been completed. Together with the green Bruce Canepa car and the Jay Kay car, that's 6 customer cars delivered or ready to be (and there might be more that we haven't seen).

Let's hope it's not a scoop (well, TG had already done a review anyway) and that we'll have 15 other reviews coming out shortly!

Phew. What a video and, for sure, a scoop at that. I have no doubt that this is the Car Video of the Year (how is that not a thing) which can't possibly be surpassed in 2024. Breathtaking, immersive, goosebumps stuff.
Hats off to Henry Catchpole (even before this he's motoring journalism preeminence) who with this rockets right up there into car scribe royalty. Kudos and congratulations to him - I can't think of a more deserving reporter - for this world first: an F1 and a T.50 driven back to back for a media production. He's so charmingly watchable, effusive and engaging, it comes as no surprise he's been afforded such an opportunity - what an accolade!
A YouTube car video for the ages.

Yeah, I agree, a really great review!
I've been kinda cooling off on Catchpole in recent years, but he absolutely nails it in this one.
Of course, it helps when the cars he gets to work with are the F1 and the T.50! What a car! I am really quite happy that I haven't been wrong fanboying all over it for the past 5 years.

Perhaps time for the first annual GCFCVOTY Award.
Wow what an absolute joy to watch, its one of those Youtube videos that should be shown at the IMAX. The sounds, sensations and the screams of those two glorious V12 engines is an unforgetable experience and Catchpole is the luckiest journalist in the world to experience that.

So, that's not all the car then? Is it? Oh well can't have everything.

To me, ever since Peter Stevens dissed T.50's imbalance of visual mass above wheel arches, I can't unsee the high rear fenders.
I guess they had to do it this way to balance out the fan, which itself couldn't be mounted any lower due to packaging limitations. It'd be interesting if some designer did a study of how T.50 would look without the fan.
And then the car has some awkward front 3/4 angles when using wide lens. That's mostly caused by the lower edge of the door curving in.
