Just been to the Broadway car show and found MMC there offering short term hires on the range presumably to drum up customers. They had a pale blue Plus 6 on display, the first time I have seen one.
Its an impressive car to look at. Much wider than the +4 they had parked right behind it. I didnt get any measurement but if you are thinking of changing and your garage is at all tight for the trad you have now, then get your tape measure out before buying. The car looked much more squat and purposeful than the +4 and its proportions were not those of a classic older vehicle
Loads more space inside the car. It will take two bloaters with ease.You can see the Lotus design influence in the wide cills but they are at least low unlike the Elise so getting in is easy. Internal finish is a mix with one clear mistake. MMC have kept not only the ugly modern BMW gear stick but also the gloss black plastic transmission tunnel cover as well. I really doesnt sit well with the overall design and needs replacing by a bit of tree. And for me they need to do somethng about the seats which in the example I sat in had a thin hard flat back rest, almost as if MMC had put thin padding on a sheet of ply. On the plus side the car had proper exterior door handles and nicely finished door panels.
But one major issue will rule the car out for you lot. I counted carefully - it has only half the bonnet louvres of the +4. Horrific!!
