Hi everyone. Here's my new 2008 spec Exige S in Solar Yellow, with Touring Pack, (Super Touring now standard) and Sports Pack, with Full leather interior.

For those interested in what the 2008 spec gets. Here's the things I've noticed: -

1. Super Touring Dash, & Steering Wheel with Air bags etc now standard. Push Engine Start, etc. It also now has new dash clocks with black dials which light up lovely and 3 rpm change lights plus all new LED's.
2. New Ignition Key
3. Exige Logo gone from the seats, (not keen on that one), but you do get them on the mats.
4. Transmission tunnel now covered in leather.
5. Gear Knob still all aluminium, not the leather one of the 07 Super Touring Pack
6. Sports Pack now includes an adjustable front roll bar from the Super Sports Pack.

I bought the car from Ben at Westover Sports Cars in Poole. Have to say Ben has been superb and I’m please I bought the car from them.

Here’s the pictures Ben took for me before I collected the car on Friday.









Here’s a few pictures I took today

Lovely car and congratulation on the car!

I must though in the context of the topic and the MY08 changes... I'm so glad I got mine in 2005. So glad.

I'm very jealous now, I love that colour, especially on Exige with black wheels.

Super looking car fella, well done clap

The only thing I don't like is the new dials though - don't seem 'race car' enough if you know what I mean.confused
