Retro Asylum has been sent some very interesting pictures said to be taken from an Amstrad “Winter 2013 Product Brochure” that was recently left on a train arriving at Liverpool Street Station in London.
The majority of the brochure is focused on Sky set up boxes and Hi-Fi equipment, however page 22 reveals something far more interesting. Namely the return of the Sinclair range of computers, in the form of the once rumoured and long forgotten “ZX Spectrum +4”.
Yes it appears that Amstrad wants to get in on the retro scene by releasing a re-vamped Speccy which is said to have 512k, new ULA hardware that allows for “non colour clash graphics”, a CD drive and a USB port plus HDMI output.
The blurb goes on to say that the system will retail for £79.99, that it will be supported with new software by Elite Systems and that Amstrad have struck a deal with Eaglemoss Publications to release a bi monthly magazine that allows readers to build their own Kempston interface. No firm release date is given.

Wow very cool. Bit pricey though.
Alan Sugar is the man if this is true.
