Billed as part of the AMOC spring concourse in welsh Wales this weekend. Of course, it won't be new Vantage, so what else could it be?

I'll start.......Maybe a one-off pair of red chinos signed by Dr. Palmer? Yours for a million quid.

I assume it's the new Cambridge special edition

That floor is going to need a bit of work on it.

...
If the lines in the roof are genuinely exploding tape, and the seats genuinely eject then they are forgiven. Otherwise, keep it classy AM Cambridge.

Certainly.

Cambridge would get a gold star too, if their cars had a joystick in place of the steering wheel.

(Does a Hawk have a joystick, or might it be akin to warships that no longer have traditional ships wheels)

It's getting an (in my opinion undeserved) bashing in the main PH article

The colour is not to my personal taste, but I think that misses the point.

I think Cambridge should be applauded for their great work, both for the charity and also, a really well thought through strategy across the various series which each tie in brilliantly to the theme in question. I also think this car makes more sense when viewed alongside the other two editions than in isolation

Finally, how can anyone criticize a car that ditches the rear seats in favour of storage cubbies for matching helmets...........it's about as PH as it gets surely !

Wholeheartedly agree that it's a worthwhile cause & hope that it makes hod-loads of cash for the Charity.

That said, I can't resist a little inter-service rivalry, therefore, my reaction to your 'Backseats' comment would be, 'Typical RAF, not known as, 'The Paramilitary Wing of British Airways' for nothing!!!' biggrin
