For old farts:: new Morgan Aero 8

[C240Sport97]

Any love for this?

I think it is just lovely. I may even get one if it looks as good in the metal as in the pics, if it rides and handles with excitement and verve and if it is well built.

No customer cars until 2016. Dealer demos around Oct 15.

Well done Morgan!

Aero 8

Supposed to be £79.2k, but no info on what is standard and options pricing.

That is lovely !

A chap down the road has the older style aero 8 coupe and it is a striking looking thing.

Beautiful..

I particularly like the interior

That rear air brake is a little OTT though..

I particularly like the interior

me too .. that wood along the center console is elegant, simple and utter genius

this may be the car to prise me out of my CLS55

and you can have it with a manual gearbox

The leather colour in combination with the carpet and wood... perfect IMHO

cherry wood staining would work better for me

you don't fit the age bracket

Very nice though I'd take a Wiesmann GT if I had the money.

it's growing on me - there was a good documentary the other night (a repeat I think) on how it's made - real craftsmanship

 

[BTB 500]

Not quite so nice from the front IMHO but looks like a winner otherwise.

 

[scgfull]

Steering wheel on the wrong side for me!

Otherwise - stunning.

An investment to enjoy

 

[gunning]

So they build a stunning car and make it boss eyed? Can't understand why they keep doing that as I love the aero 8's

I really like them. Something a bit different from the norm, and I believe still British??

yes, British designed and built and British owned

they went bust, didn't they?

 

[Giantvanman]

still British??

Yes. Still in the family as well AKAIK.

 

[chubbs111]

the factory is about 4 miles from me and they are still producing.

 

[C240Sport97]

the side profile is just wonderful

Fuel tank capacity of 55litres, you'll not be going far between fuel stops...
