Well chaps, I've just finalised the details with BHM for a new Plus 4 GDi to replace my 2008 Plus 4 Duratec. It's scheduled for build to start at the end of June / start of July with delivery towards the end of July (hopefully before the factory shuts down for the summer break). This time I'm aiming to do a factory visit to see the car under build, which I wasn't able to do last time. Excitement mounts! 
Regards
Alan

You can't tease us like that Alan, what spec did you go for?
Oh, and congratulations - a factory visit during the build is a real privilege.

Oh , OK Mazda Soul Red metallic with anthracite upholstery piped in red. S/S wire wheels Mota-lita leather steering wheel (I find more comfortable than the wooden ones) Wing mounted side lights Over-riders Black Mohair hood & tonneau Walnut dash Plus other bits, too many to mention. The build number is 100911 (shame I'm not a fan of Porsches!) I now have to change my entire Morgan wardrobe from blue to red.

Well done Alan,
I totally agree that the wooden rimmed wheels are lovely to look at , but not very practical unless you are wearing gloves.
Red and black is a classic combination, and you don't want light coloured leather in an open car.
Have you traded in the Duratec +4, or will you sell it privately?
