Congratulations on the new car :)

What is the current lead time on a factory order, do you know ? How long did you have to wait for yours ?

I never realised until recently that they are now offering the Exige as a factory soft top. It actually looks quite nice, I think the longer wheelbase helps to pull it off whereas the old car with DIY soft top never looked quite right, proportion wise.

I'll be curious to see how residuals fare on the new Exige too, given the much higher list price. I see 3 yr old models selling for not a million miles away from their new list which is quite astonishing.

Regards,

Jeremy

Is there still the option of taking the roof off Neil and fitting a soft top kit?
