>I went to the heaven .... sorry Malvern, a few weeks ago to choose new mog
options at the factory - took a whole film of pictures and discussed issues
such as air-bags - the main sales guy there ( sorry I forget his name ) told
me that they have only *once* had an order for air-bags! There was no sign
of any missing ducts for air - but I'm not sure about the heated front screen.
The "new" cars are not yet in production, but will be any week now!
>BTW Colin Have you got your car yet? and if not - will you be driving it
home from the factory? :-) You said yours was going to be a yellow one with
green leather/carpets .... there was one like that there! - Got it on a
picture! it was having the carpets fitted at the time - Unfortunately I did
not look at the build ticket so can't be sure if it was yours. I can place
the pictures on the web if I get time.
A coincidence in that someone has the same taste as me. Mine is not yet in
build, so will unfortunately be of the new type. Yes I *will* be driving it
home.
NO airbags .... well at just under 2000 UK pounds for a fat steering wheel
and no glove box - who needs them? ;-)
My understanding is that all cars will be equiped to take airbags, although
their fitment will be optional. Ergo, everyone will ahve big ugly steering
wheels and no glove box.
