Dragging this back onto the topic, I think it's a distinct improvement on the Aero 8 - even quite sinister looking, which I don't mind (in a moody, batmobile kind of way)
Trouble is that it doesn't really fit the Malvern tweeds and flat cap image. Maybe, as others have already comented, it's too retro (massive boat-tail and swooping Bentley Conti style front wings).
I'd be stunned if they ever put it into production - but I think it's more interesting than anything else they've ever fashioned.
