The GT8! Carbon fibre bodied £200K 440BHP 7 Speed V8.

As regards the tour I would say pretty much yes - we have been round 4 or 5 times and the only " shortened " version was when we went on a Friday but that was just to see paint colours on cars in production -am sure the dealer should make sure for you.
I have yet to see any comments on a wheel colour other than black.
AFAIK no factory pick up but happy to be corrected.

Drove the GT8 today... EPIC!

That's a bit of a cliffhanger, but I truly loved it and now have a tremendously torturous wait until December.

Sad we don't get any over here.

I'm guessing you went for a custom paint colour Tim? Something bluey-purple?

I drove the Sportshift Stirling Green car at the Nurburgring, still fun but I'm solid on having a manual for myself.

Good choice. Have gone for the manual myself. When will you post a video?

I think it will be tomorrow, Thursday 1st Sept at 18:00, but not 100% sure yet.

Thanks. Look forward to seeing it.

Did anyone NOT go for the manual? My sense is that everyone on this forum (and we represent quite a large chunk of the rhd cars) went manual. But one or two of the videos seem to be suggesting 50%+ went for the SSII. Is that mainly the European/non-UK buyers then?

Change of plans, I'll push it out today, 18:00

Yes, I have gone for the manual with Carbon Black & Californian poppy accents, the car sounds great! I have a build date starting the 29th November, looks like a March delivery for me then on the new plate.

That should look fantastic Jez. I've personally not got a build date yet (I think linked to using frosted glass blue as a base paint colour). So suspect I'm also going to be a 2017 build (just need it to be this side of any changes in road tax requirements!). Really looking forward to seeing others come off the production line in 3 months or so from now

I am aware of 2 people in UK getting Sportshift (outside the forum), but agree with you, likely, the majority of UK cars will be 3pedals!

..found a way to kill some time ahead of my delivery date (probably March) https://instagram.com/p/BJnzlBngMrg/

Great video! Can't wait to see the build process at the factory.

[alscar]

Great video - I think that's the most enthusiastic I have seen you in one of your drives.
It will help pass the time for waiting for all ours to be built.
Clearly upgrading the stereo on my order was pointless though.
I dont remember from looking at Gaydon but did that one have the poly glass rear screen ?
Are u going for the mag centre locks ?
