I bought Classic and Sports Car magazine this month (a bunch of V8 Astons on the front).
There's a full page ad in there from ZF confirming (as per the other thread) that as soon as they receive 250 confirmed orders, they'll get making.
Thought the full page ad bit was interesting
(edit) I've come over all... "oooh for a resto job that I could (pay to) build around a 5 speed"
