He told R.Rides: “I wouldn't compare this car to any other classic cars because it's a car of its own. It has unique looks. It has a unique brand. It's a timeless masterpiece, and cannot be compared to any other cars. When I look at this car, I always have three words come into my mind; timeless, elegant, and classic.”
