I have been asked by Dax Pearce, the General Manager of Benfield to invite all north east members to their launch night on Thursday 29th January.

Aldo Zilli will be cooking up a few dishes and they'll be an 8C in the showroom to drool over.

If you’d like to attend please send an email to;

Dax.Pearce@Benfieldmotorgroup.com

Re: Launch Night @ Benfield

Spooky, I've just been across there a couple of hours ago to check out the new Mito and was invited to the launch night but will have to see what shift I'm on.

Was quite impressed with the Mito, it looks bigger than in the pics and the interior is a big step up quality wise, look forward to a test drive when its launched and those headlights don't look as bad as i first feared

Hope the two technicians will be there......Steve and Mark, the only reason I went back to Benfield is because Steve went back.......he really is top notch, otherwise it was down to Alexanders, I gave up with 'Pyles'!

Hello again everyone, I also have been to Benefield today and I am very impressed by the ambition now. I have replied directly to Dax and will see you there. Mrs Springer has also agreed to go, food and wine the clincher!
