Making its world debut, the Mastretta MXT was launched at the British International Motor Show where it has been acclaimed by both press and public. While test drives will not be available until the end of this year many prospective buyers, impressed by the car’s looks and specification, have already registered their interest. Only eighty RHD cars will be built for delivery in 2009 and it will be possible to reserve build slots from 4 August.
Having displayed a prototype MXT at the British International Motor Show, Mastretta will now complete the approval process with the Vehicle Certification Agency and production will start towards the end of this year.
A total of eighty RHD vehicles will be built in the next twelve months and UK deliveries of this exclusive sports car will start in May 2009. From 4 August 2008, build slots may be reserved at Trimar Sports Cars. A deposit of £1,000 is required but this is refundable if, having driven the Mastretta MXT, you decide that it is not the car for you. Those who have reserved a build slot will be invited to test drive when the first production cars become available i.e. prior to delivery of stock to dealers.
