Geneva here we come; salon auto and then trying to decide Ah! You'll be ordering the new V6 Aero then  Seriously though: the Plus 8 looks very nice but it seems a bit pricey despite the low kms. I will have done that by the time the car is about two and a half years old. There are bound to be lots of little things that need sorting out. However nice it looks it is still a 25 year old car.

good point and yezz, a cleaner Aero would be my favorite but the current car is not popular enough to get it sold easily when that time comes (hope to find peace in my car-apetite now)

Alloys without centre caps set my teeth on edge.

I am worried about you now Dave - I bet only a concours man noticed that - I will own up to enjoying the overall lines of this one.

I would rather fit yoghurt carton lids than have missing centre caps. Likewise for valve caps. We hired a 'Toyota' for our trip to Dartmouth and it had no valve caps. So - I fitted four spares for the trip, and took them off when we got back..........  PS - basic checks when looking at a car to buy, or for concours - matching tyres - in extreme cases, matching date codes, full complement of centre caps and matching valve caps. That's a well looked after car..........

had a few conversations (real-life and on the net) and seems like this will be ordered if my visit to the Geneva-show doesn't mess up my mind again...

I'm feeling a wicked desire to take off one of my centre caps AND a valve cap!
