And it's probably worth remembering what a huge hike there was between the price of Aero 8 S4 models and the SS. While you got a much better trimmed interior (still some of it at extra cost) and more sophisticated doors (if they fitted) this is where the price anomaly was introduced.
IMHO this was a mistake and the money would have been better spent on a an improved Aero 8 S5 with a re-worked rear end, a better hard top, and a GT3 model if you wanted to spend £100K or so.
