I'd love to see a straight eight - that would be one big engine bay!

Yes sir, these little beauties are rear engined, hence the long boot......the engine is under the rear seats and under the boot floor!

A mistake over spec options is understandable, but not the engine (on the assumption that they are all the same, eg V8 )

Think of this, a pal bought a Merc 500R four months ago circa £61K, they musn`t have been moving many in this country so Merc told the dealers to reduce the price by upto £20K! needless to say he bailed out. Won`t tell me how much he lost. Kinda off thread ---appologies.
