Presumably Paul O'Grady/Lily Savage is a fan of these cars because they have the acceleration of a dragster....

Maybe it's just that his garage doesn't have room for a new motor without getting rid of an existing one, but I know what you mean.

That's interesting. How did you get sports exhausts? I ordered sports rear exit exhausts but then the factory said that they hadn't developed a sports exhaust for the Plus 8 yet - the choice was side exit or rear exit only. Sounds pretty good nevertheless so I'm not complaining.

please post your pics when you get your +VIIIs.

that blue and cream car at Newtown does look stunning, but Morgans need to be flat colours for me

For me I agree. I have just sold a racing green 1979 +8 so i wanted to keep approx the same colour. My delivery is 9 weeks late, originally is was promised for me to take to the Classic Lemans. Is yours on time?
