Announcement pilfered from the Folding Society.
The only major news seems to be the demise of the C-Type, and the simplification of the model range:

NEW MODEL RANGE, NEW PRICES
by Brompton
We are in the process of redeveloping our website, which means that the model and price information found here is no longer 100% up-to-date. The new website should be up and running within the next two months but the main changes as of April 2007 are: - S and P Type models are now priced much nearer to the M Type; - Superlight: the full package of titanium parts has been reduced in price; saving 1kg in weight now costs just £400; - 3 & 2 Speeds are now priced the same; - 6 Speed: upgrading from 3 to 6 speeds is now cheaper, at £50; - Racksack: we have launched a bag designed for the Brompton rear rack. With the sides lined for stiffness and priced at £50, it is the perfect solution for those who want their rear luggage stored in a secure, shower-proof holdall; - C Type: This model has been discontinued - the closest model to the C Type (but far superior in most respects) is an M3E without folding pedal, at £458; - Key models: we have moved away from the confusing offering of 10 standard models and replaced it with three key models: one for each handlebar style. Each of these three key models (S2L, M3L, P6R) is also available in superlight specification (S2L-X, M3L-X, P6R-X). All the key models come fitted with lighting as standard. Please remember that B-spoke (formerly known as A La Carte, or ALC) custom-built Bromptons take no longer to build than any other order placed with us. April is also the start of our financial year, so prices have changed - as always, some features and parts have gone up, others down; however, prices overall are up by about 2.4%. For full details of all the changes to our range and prices, contact your local Brompton dealer or distributor. Prices quoted above are UK RRP and will of course vary from country to country.
