Thank you Rog, that is a very interesting point and to me less is more and I really like the way they rolled out of the factory without extras bolted on increasing the weight  p.s. I could not love the latest rendition of the Plus Four with it's eyes removed and the slab dash  but I'm an old fart. I do think the CX series is impressive though in it's execution and has saved the company from an early demise.

Very smart looking +8 Richard as others have typed I hope you can continue to use it for many more years.
Also like you being an old f*rt, I do like a degree of simplicity, and thus very pleased that my mid 80`s +8 is amongst the last to have carbs fitted, though they are Strombergs and not the SU`s I would have preferred... There is always something... (-:

That is a cracking car Richard.. I love a V8 both for how it lays down its power and the sound... We used to have a AMG C63 with a twin turbo V8, now if I could have put that engine in the Plus Six that would have been something...

Thank you Dave, so glad you are getting the best out of your Plus Six. Now that would be a fantastic combination, I reckon Alistair could be tempted by that one too

Nice one Rich. I still remember the rumble as you rolled through Dartmouth all those years ago

The perfect +8, love the colour and the wheels. Same colour as my 1974 +8 (1979-80), I still miss it's rumble on straight through pipes. As much as I love my Aero which I will keep until I have to give up driving, you can't "tinker" with it much.

Thank you David, you have more power now though Like you when you have exactly what you want why swap although at times I do get a little itch but tbh I am not keen on the latest offering.

I just love a +8, but absolutely not on wires! I can't explain it, they look great on other trads.
Mind you I can't talk as mines got bug eyes and a big bum!
