Its purely a matter of taste....which relies on you really.

You either like the titanium details, red leather of the LE, or you dont...and there are plenty who dont ! laugh

Having owned both, I loved the white dials, alloys and red stitched plus interior, and also the later recaro style air bag seats of the plus...but I have always loved the titanium details of the LE...so went for a LE !! cool

You can see why the Sprinty colour never made it to the LE production line !

Plus' were just a profit making exercise after the HUGE success of the LE's you can't run a "Limited Edition" on for ever. They'd already added 50% extra on to the production run as it was, at least for the UK spec ones anyway. Get an LE, looooong term, it will be worth more wink
But as said previously, it's all down to personal taste, talking of which, why oh why has someone done that to a sprity? Eyebrows as well rolleyes

Ignore the above from Sir roadking MBE

Jealousy for his somewhat lacking budget.
The extra expense would buy the top of the range most expensive model.
The limited edition.

Except no substitutes.

The LE interior looks well in person but shocking on pics.

Yup. Nice car, best colour with the worst interior. There's a reason LEs weren't available in Sprint. You can't compromise class by chucking in a tacky interior.

Now that Sprinty Plus of JBT's exudes class, quality and taste love Which may be why he is moving it on tongue

The sprintey should've been a colour of the LE.
But perfecting the colour was never allowed in the best model as too much perfection can leave one spoilt.

The le interior looks exquisite with the sprintey body wrapped around it.
The only thing it's missing is the luxury if the LE extras.
Only found on the Le

In the words of Earnest Hemingway who once said ............Roadking you need an Le to be complete. laugh
Wise words my friend.

Excellent choice of the components (except for the cheaper plus parts)
Wouldn't find any plus badies in my Le that's for sure laugh

(Good excuse yes/no)

Nothing else on the car is from a plus laugh

The plus wheels are ok i suppose but nothing else .
well maybe i use the push button start.
And maybe the plus clock.
And maybe the plus dials.

And I am rather partial to the plus wheels thumb

And technically I own 2 plus's .

Yes they do but the over all package is the LE and it's a shame they didn't number the plus like the LE's.
There's 1st class and then there's second class which is were the plus's are. Lol.

I like to call them discreet laugh
180mph clocks but in the more mature black.

Black is a much better colour for the interior stitching as found on the voluptuously styled LE sofas.
