Sinclair didn't bring the 128K+ to the UK until early 1986 because he wanted to run down the 48K+ stock at Christmas.

Amstrad bought Sinclair in spring 1986 and they ran down the remaining 128K+ stock, meanwhile the grey +2 was already ready to manufacture - they'd already designed the case and reversed engineered the 128K+ to get a head start. It was in the shops by that autumn.
