Hi Peter,
I did mean to say thank you to you all for the welcome to your merry band of owners!
I am hoping to go to the factory during the build but don't envisage being there for the whole thing! We are going to Shelsley Walsh and Chateau Impney for the hill climbs and staying in Malvern at the Abbey so maybe if they have started by then we could extend our stay and pop in for a look and a few pictures.
My wife suffers back and joint problems and was beginning to find the Roadster a bit of a trial, which led me to buying a 2008 S3 Aero 8 a year ago, mainly for the wider cockpit and "proper suspension". Absolutely loved the Aero and found ourselves not using the R 100 much at all. I sold the Roadster a few months ago and have just put my Aero 8 up for sale with Melvyn Rutter. The funds raised by the sale of both cars will pay for the new Plus 8.
As much as I loved the Aero for it's space and that amazing engine I found myself hankering for a traditional bodied car and the Plus 8 seems to be going to give me the best of both worlds. After taking one for a test drive and looking at a friends, I was hooked.
I have read all of your posts from your purchase of Tarka and all of your subsequent posts about the changes you have made and the general reports on running and owning a Plus 8 with interest and they have helped my decide to finally push the boat out and buy one. So, thanks for that Peter.
