Forget the lettering....the more important thing is the small words at the bottom of the advert where it says Cat D.....
And in the text he states it’s got piano black inserts but i’m damned if I can see any of that in there...

Perhaps the lettering is the reason why it’s classed as a Cat D?... 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: FL2 as a second car

IT looks very jaunty, different, original, a talking point, a SOH, you could get used to it, unlike the end of a D5.
