Having owned 10 of these cars now I jump on them when I find them. This one was of particular interest to me given the 1 of 1 color. You are correct as it does look Black in certain light or lack thereof. But in the bright sun you see the British Racing Green tone more. \r\n\r\nYour comment about British roots is new to me. I never heard that and not sure that is accurate. Here I what I know to be the back story on the brand and the reason for the Irish looking logo. \r\n\r\n\"The company itself was founded in 1989 by Daniel Panoz who had applied in 1988 for a job at the Thompson Motor Company, an Irish car builder. When the company was liquidated, Dan seize dthe opportunity and bought the rights to one of the chassis TMC was using, one designed by Frank Costin, the man who also built chassis for Maserati, Lotus and Lister.\r\n\r\nJust one year after the birth of Panoz Motors, the first model came out: the 1990 Roadster. Built in the company's small factory in Atlanta, Georgia, the car set about reigniting the true spirit of the American roadster. BY 1996, the AIV Roadster came into full production.\r\n\r\nIn 1997 the company decided to enter racing to better promote their products. The difference between Panoz and other manufacturers was that their strived to keep their road cars as close to their racing versions as possible. The next model to come out of the Panoz plant was the Esperante with its racing version, the GTR-1. It was entered in the famous 24 Hours Le Mans.\r\n\r\nIn order to better develop their products on the track, Panoz then intensified its involvement in racing. It moved Le Mans across the ocean into America in 1998, it opened up a racing school and took part in other racing championships, such as the US Road Racing Championship which it won in 1998.\r\n\r\nIn 2000 it developed the race purposely-built Esperante GTS, a car which would serve in he Sports Car of America. Measures were taken to ensure the car was cheap to maintain and race, such as replaceable acrylic panels instead of fiberglass. All those efforts in racing paid off in 2006 when Panoz took the gold in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race in the GT2 class with an Esperante GTLM.\r\n\r\nPut in a nutshell, if you're looking for an American sports car that also races on the track, Panoz is the company to call on.\"\r\n\r\nIf you have anything about the British history I would love to hear about it.

First, you are correct that the original tool box that is listed on the window sticker is no longer with the car. I checked and you can buy those Roush Tool boxes pretty reasonably online and there is really nothing special as far as tools go. As far as the Steering wheel goes I am going to assume it was added by the original owner as the other 9 AIV roadsters I have had all had a black Nardi steering wheel. Some were D shaped and others were not. This wheel looks very good on the car and compliments the wood on the center console nicely. Again, the original style steering wheel could be added pretty inexpensively if desired but I think it looks great with this one on it. Stereo I believe is original. \r\n\r\nDate codes on tires as follows and I will add pics\r\n\r\nFronts 4815 and 4615 which means produced 48th week of 2015 and 46th week of 2015\r\nRears Both 4715 which means produced 47th week of 2015. \r\n\r\nI have receipt for the tires in the pics and looking closely it looks like they have the wrong date codes listed just slightly. \r\n\r\nThey were installed April 25th, 2016 when the car had 10,430 miles on it.
