That 350 was made just for her. Check out the checkered binding. Probably a precursor to the Hoffs Ltd. Ed.

Some people are fiercely attached to rings. Reminds me of a British comedy movie from the mid-1960s. Can someone HELP me with the name?

Back to topic, sorry! When the SH model was first being designed, Suzanna wanted it in white originally, so perhaps this is that prototype.

Hey Jeff - I heard that story too. Didn't they spend months building it and when they presented it to her she said "that's cool - but can you do it in black..."

Yep, that's what I have read, too. Perhaps John or Ben can verify that for us.
