Thanks all, comments re Roadsters and GDI cars all noted, but I cannot afford one! More accurately, I can't justify one when my real passions are pre-war cars. I think the consensus so far is try a Plus 8, or buy something else (provided the 4/4 sells). It is shame, because it is such a pretty car. It will be due service and MoT in December, so I will be taking it to my nearest specialist which is New Elms, and may ask them if they have a car or 2 I can try.

First world problems I guess!
