The soft-top convertible body styles can be bought with a base price of £39,995 (US$63,000 or €48,300). On the other hand, the special edition 45^th anniversary, which is available only in limited time, will be priced at £36,495 (US$57,500 or €44,100) for the coupe and £41,495 (US$65,400 or €50,100) for the other one.

All models in the range are only offered with the 6.2-liter V8 engine that can be matched to either the standard 6-speed manual gearbox or the optionally available six-speed automatic with an additional price of £1,500.
