What does this mean in regards to the early life of the car. I bought a BA MKII second hand a little while back and it is number P0006. It has craig lowndes and jamie whincup`s real signatures on the dash which were put there when it was on display at the Clipsal 500 according to the dealership. Does this mean that it has a hard life or has all the dodgy first off parts which had problems and if so anything that I should look out for? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given to the journos to 'run in' before being sold off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just means yours is run in well and should put out max power potential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
