Like others I'm sure, I got a letter from Charles today with the enclosed leaflet announcing the new Plus 8, driven by a very cool looking Matt, and advising that there will be a small production run before the Geneva car show launch next year.  It is all pretty much as we have reported previously, the price is £71,000.00 plus VAT (ex-factory) and the wheels shown are the wheels from the Series IV Aero 8. Air-conditioning is standard and an automatic gearbox is also available. Otherwise the spec seems normal trad with 8-standard colours and a choice of wood finishes. All you have to do to beat the rush and get a pre-launch car is send your deposit of £20,000.00 to MMC...

Matt always seems to look cool  (being the nearest I can find to :cool: ). Is this another of RedMorgan's shots? Richard? Cheers,

can't stop wondering, side-mirrors AND side-screens at 140mph could be kinky-stuff

I'm sure you'll see it during your visit Steven. As for the mirrors, maybe they need testing at speed, in which case I volunteer!

At 140mph all you'll need the mirrors for is to check for blue flashing lights.

Well done MMC. A good effort. Overriders would look nice, but a minor point. Not for me though unless I rob a bank.

The on the road price without extras would seem to make the last of the S4 aeros a bargain.
Will be interesting to see how it compares to the Aero, any ideas on the roof mechanism?

I was very interested, but not at nearly £100K, I was under the impression that it would be arounf £70k delivered.
