**Much** more interesting than a a carpeted second trunk/boot (I refer to the current trend of electrifying classics).

that V12 could be a real wallet cleaner
Congratulations on keeping an ICON alive and well

Its cool, but its not gonna stay this way once it gets put to use. Dont be one of those guys that steam cleans it just to keep up appearances. Sellers do this to entice buyers. Steaming it can cause corrosion in areas that normally dont see moisture accumulation.
