Hi all - just got back in after buzzing around Bristol in a brand new (unregistered) +4. A great test drive, with sun shining too!
And nearly got the hang of the handbrake.... grin2

Good man!
I've just been out in a '98 Z3 as a potential replacement for my MX-5. Sun shining to the north of you too - or is it a reflection from your teeth rofl

Cheers,

I may have missed the rest of the information (in your previous posts) but was this a test drive, or is this your car that awaits registration? smile

Whatever the case, it sounds like an enjoyable drive.

just a straight test drive, and chat about prices, options, build slots etc....I think it's looking like Xmas or New Year 2011 to get my very own +4; will just have to be patient - and maybe hire one for a weekend!

Here's some pics of an (almost) identical model; the one I drove had no bonnet straps or the full bumper. Eveything else the same, including colour:

Jon,
If you trawl the web pages of the various dealers, you may well find an unregistered car with the spec you want -- I did and am now the very happy owner of an Aston Martin Mendip Blue +4 with Grey Leather upholstery. Just fantastic!!

I wish you well with your search!!

@Robbie - thanks; I think the wait will be better for the bank manager tho...

@Steve - yes; it seemed to finish far too soon!
