The car features bespoke Aqua paint with Vibrant Pink and White decals, plus Miami script and circuit silhouette on the rear. Inside, the Miami script is embroidered on headrests, and each car has a numbered dashboard plaque and a second plaque in the engine bay signed by the two builders who hand-assembled the car in the UK.
