Actually, for all its faults from being a million year old design, and made out of a bit of ash, it is a supremely comfortable cruiser, and we've taken it to the south of France. Just post your luggage, as there is room for a manbag and a map.
Million year old design made out of ash, you say?
That's a Plus 8 chassis .. it shares the same chassis as the Aero 8 - or I should say "shared", I suppose, now! If you get the chance, go on a factory tour there - the blend of old-school workmanship (panel beating, the ash framed
body etc) and new-world (bonded aluminium structures) is eye opening, as is their attitude to "We can build anything you want, Sir (for a price)"
I went out in a Plus 8 Roadster - that's the one without a windscreen - when it was 8ºC in Feb. I couldn't feel my eyeballs after about five minutes
Everyone after me seemed to get a crash helmet for some reason!
I'd have one in a heartbeat.
