An alloy chassis would need to be re-homologated and MMC couldn't justify the cost, I suspect. But Peter, you are right. A 4/4 with an incredibly stiff alloy ladder chassis and IRS.....
Plus the Mini engine from the JCW car...
What's not to drool over?
It is interesting that the rear of the year on the new Aero 8 is thermoformed and welded, not panel beaten. This will allow the use a of stronger, corrosion resistant alloy, reducing the one small area of corrosion around the rear lights on the early series Aeros.
