I wonder what these Plus 8s will cost....
From £107,500 plus local taxes, according to the MMC press release So in the UK that is from £130,000 inc VAT, for the base Speedster version and I'd estimate close to £150,000 for the fully specified soft top auto version. I think I'll keep Tarka...!!

Painted number on Grille..? Yellow spots..? Roundels on doors..? Never park your car outside the front doors of Pickersleigh Road whilst working..

I'm tempted, but Lutz wanted more for them than I can afford!
How much was the grille Peter?

It looks lovely in both versions but that is a whole lot of money. The lucky owners are going to have lots of fun and a big slice of history.

Well.......it’s taken this to get me back on TM! I’ve lurked a couple of times without logging in and not been tempted to come back. But I’ve been interested in both the Aero GT and the Plus 8 Anniversary and keen to see the reaction.
The GT leaves me cold....a lot of factory hype for something that is crying out for some special tuning and a set of unique wheels at the very least.
I do like the Plus 8, particularly with the Aero screens ( if the Speedster was withdrawn due to homoligation issues with the screen....how have they got round this?) and the new wheels are stunning and a nicer modern take on those from Morgan Park. A roll bar would have been a nice touch. But the price? If it is ex VAT, I can’t help but think the factory are taking the piss a bit!
Still....a nice end to the Plus 8 story.
Looking forward to the Show opening later this week and more news coming out about the Trads.
Frustrating that I’m not that far from Geneva at the moment skiing with the family but it took nearly seven hours coach transfer from the airport to get to where we are...just the most horrendous traffic.

the aluminium rear dome looks similar to the one for the ARP4.
love the green car with the hood, but very pricey for a standard car with some paint options.

Good to see you back Jays if only briefly. Look after that ankle whilst on the slopes.
