Visited Ameyc at the new Westover Sports Cars showroom.
When I first visited the Westover showroom it was in Bournemouth and had Lotus Fezza, Morgan and a few others. That site is now retirement flats and while the new showroom was being built they had a small corner of the Shaguar showroom.

The new showroom is between the Lexus and Shaguar showrooms and opposite the Sunseeker show area (Drool).

It is really impressive!! There are quite a few beautiful Loti in the showroom and a few ferraris including a perfect testerosa.

If anything the welcome is warmer!

Hopefully this one will last a bit longer! 3 Showrooms in a little over 2 years is good going! What's the market for retirement flats on Poole Quay like? Bit disappointed no mailing / opening bash though?? Found out they had moved when I got phoned up about the track day in June.

Have to pop in with the form, which could be expensive.

dgr - there is a mailer coming out v soon, and there will also be a opening/launch 'do' in the near future. Got to have everything spot-on for the hoardes (fingers crossed) of people that will pour through the doors!!!

I'll second that Gooby, the new showroon is FAB. No more Loti being hidden behind those dreary Jags, and there that much closer to the road now it makes it really easy to gawp at the cars on my way to work .

That Exige S that's Soooo conveniently parked outside is a right Flirt - it keeps winking at me when I go past. (new sales technique employed by westovers I reckon!)

WHAT ORANGE EXIGE S??????????????????????????????????????

Oh my god oh my god oh my god, don't tell me, there isn't one there is there?

For the first time I CAN'T WAIT TO GO TO WORK TOMORROW to see if it's real.

What if I want it....I'll have to move into a shoe box and sell OrangeD to pay for it. Ameyc is dying to sell me an 'S', could this be a conspiracy

I need to pop in tomorrow anyway, more broken bits on mine

Did you see it?
More to the point did you manage to make it past the showroom without buying it?

There's a graphite one behind it as well.

Ohh yes, I saw it alright! Managed to cruise past and have a butchers without causing a pile-up in the road.

Might have to have a wander round there at lunch time to have a better look, mind you it's nothing new as I saw a stack of them at the factory. I still don't think i could justify buying one though. I'll have to window shop instead.

I think the Orange one is a customers awaiting collection? Don't get your hopes up yet Mini!

I know the Graphite one is a stock vehicle. They do look awesome - i just stood in front of the Graphite one for about half hour when it was being prepped at the service centre and just gorped.... it was soooooo mean looking - i want a black one, and I want it now

I went in and had a good look Very nice!!

I didn't realise this morning there was another Orange exige in there aswell - just a standard one though, and honestly speaking I thought the standard one looked nicer, but then I am slightly biased.

I couldn't bear chipping all that lovely new paintwork if I got a new one!

Tempted, but not right now, but then I haven't driven it yet...

Good to see some nice bright colours in the showroom anyway!

Having just bought the Sportsracer this is a high risk move as far as the wallet is concerned.

Enjoy
