button (or plaquette) on dashboard of black R.V6s (right of steering wheel) Appears to be a start button http://www.pbase.com/y100mmc/image/122469202Like the centre arm-rest/storage to make up for the lack of side pockets?

yep, start button, so the guys developping the brushed alloy center-dash can start over  anyway: would have been much better to moved the starter-button in the Aero's, cause when you have a sat-nav with flip-up-screen

 Do my eyes deceive me, or have they taken the body work right up to the back of the seats, eliminating the small amount of easy access storage?  In fact, it looks different. The lower part of the roof is higher, so the position of the stoplight is higher too. See? At least on my car the spare wheel would hide the light:

See? At least on my car the spare wheel would hide the light: Ivo: we were shown around the car by Matt Humphries (on the photo in the grey suit) and the hood is altered at the back to accommodate the brake light and as you can see from the photo it is in a slightly higher position than yours. Also, it looks as though the spare wheel on your car is a full-sized spare, whereas the spare wheel on the Roadster Sports is a space-saver wire wheel so it does not stand as proud; thus giving a proper sight line to the 3rd brake light.

At least on my car the spare wheel would hide the light: Flicking through the whole set of photos it appears that the hood folds differently on this model so what I was looking at is the light interior of the Hood and not a bodywork extension. You can see that the spare wheel is either sitting down hell of a lot more than Ivo's Roadster spare wheel or could it be a 4/4 wheel just to get you home( or back to the Pits)

the roadster sport shown in the first link is in some details different to the geneva ones... - no starter button - full spare wheel (like IVO's - will this work with the breaking lights?) ...the geneva 4/4 sport was slightly different to final version too - let's see... I hope that mmc keep's the pure simple spirt of the 4/4 sport

I like the altered hood, and how it folds. Looks much neater.

That high level brake light looks the same as fitted to 4 seaters (was looking at one at Donnington yesterday - on a 2008 +4 4 seater).

I really like the black wire wheels. Not so sure about the black grille, though... ...and no "tread rubbers" In my opinion, they are useless. When ordering my baby, I didn't know better, so I even took an extra set. Now when washing the car, or when it's raining, water collects behind and between them leaving stains, when not being wiped off. Hi Ivo, Treads are not really useless, but you are right about water collection. You have to be careful because these treads are fixed with standard steel coach bolts, so after a while this assembly generates a catalytic phenomenon between the aluminium of the wing and the steel. I reinstalled with the S/S button bolts, plastic washers, nylocs and “Duralac” to avoid catalyse. In addition I used silicone between treads and wing to avoid retaining water. Up to know it works and I am no longer using air gun to dry the water after every washing. Of course it is longer to remove and reinstall treads, because as I didn’t find so small S/S coach bolt, button bolts don’ have square cup, so I have to remove the rubber from the rail, screw each bolt and reinstall rubber, but when you like… Best regards. Daniel.

It seems as if my simple thinking on pricing (... right in the middle between +4 and normal Roadster...) was too naive. The Roadster Sport will be priced above the normal Roadster But still a great looking car!
