The Aero sump is low apparently.
Do you seriously think you'll get a BMW V8 for a grand extra???? The gearbox would be different, and it will put more weight on the front axle. I'm a lifelong V8 fan, but the V8 in the context of today is a tad over-rated. It's thirsty, and heavier than a V6 - two more pots, and it sits further forward.
The Aero tub with trad body story was circulating at Newmarket.
All they need to do to shift Aero's is to offer the proper convertible and a bit of discount. The SS is no looker from the rear.
AND - there's a recession on..........
By the way, if you haven't noticed, I'm a Series 1 Roadster fan. Not so keen on what followed.
I think you've hit some nails on the head there Dave, agree with all apart from last remark of course
