At last and it's a beauty. I definitely need to have a proper look at this and if it's right I will hopefully be able to buy one. Anyone know how many they plan to make (limited numbers)? Jon Wells mentioned 300 in his video introduction to the car. Not sure if that's just a ballpark figure or not.

The design work looks very nice and the chassis/suspension revisions seem like a major step forward. Autocar has reported that the base price will be Ģ80,000. Good luck to the MMC. Maybe I should leave my wallet at home before I go then! Me too. I'd better leave my Gold credit card at home too!

Thanks Jay. I'm at the factory in April having my car serviced so will look to speak to someone there about it. 300 shouldn't sell out too quickly (I hope!!).

I've just watched the John Well video, which explains rather more than the promo video.
New chassis, road optimised with AR bars and I suspect a substantially cheaper build cost for the tub. I wonder if that cost saving will migrate to the Plus 8 and I further wonder if the lower cost chassis will allow it to migrate to the Roadster? All good stuff really.

A very svelte model.
If a windfall arrives I'd definitely have one. A refined TVR Tuscan I see it as.

Excellent job MMC. Had a quick look at the MMC site but couldn't see any information about price, std specification or cost of extras.

I agree Peter, modifications look better and will be cheaper to manufacture.

Taking the wings off to do a service has always seemed like a real design failing to me.

The car looks better than the old Aeros but not really good.
And I donīt understand why the boot lid opens backwards. What is the idea behind it?
