Doing my HGV training/test in Norwich City Centre this week, today I spotted a metallic blue (possibly Paris?) 480 on a K plate at about 11am.
Instructor was slightly less excited than me
Had GT Vesa wheels but didn't think blue was a GT colour + K too early?

Hi, That was me - out shopping in Eva, hubby's Paris Blue turbo. He hates cleaning the Vesa wheels, so she's going onto Pictors next week. Hope the test went well despite the dimwit instructor

The moment I started reading the description, and given the location, I thought "I know who that was..."
