For old farts:: new Morgan Aero 8

[Fudger]

Nice looking but I hope they make the ride UK road compliant!

I also hope the have designed it so that your arms do not need to be as long as your legs so as to reach the steering wheel comfortably

Looks fantastic IMHO. Almost as attractive as my SLK 230 SE.

Front view spoils it. Looks like it should be a talking car in Chuggington or Roary'S Grandad. Other than that, superb.

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

Far enough for the weak bladder owners

I think they should do a road-legal version of the AR V6

I notice there are hardly any front on promo pictures

Lovely much better repair than the old model.

You would stand out from the masss.

I think I will get one to run alongside the 3W. I'd want side pipes though as they sound awesome.

Lovely. I've looked at the fixed head Supersports a couple of times, but really like the droptop. I was never that keen on the early Aero8, particularly the first version of the headlights and i could never make my mind up about the back.

I could get very tempted with that new one.

The front view really doesn't work for me ... the numberplate splitting the grille, the thick rectangular windscreen surround. The headlights slightly remind me of a Ford Scorpio Gorgeous from other angles though.

Price-wise I see a Plus 8 auto starts at £76,500 so I assume the new Aero would be significantly more than that?

base price for plus 8 is £73,494, so Aero 8 around £5,700 more.

so Plus 8 is too expensive and Aero 8 is great value.

 

[Ierton]

yes, British designed and built and British owned



they went bust, didn't they?

No - they filed for it but then withdrew.

 

[Palfrem]

Very nice indeed.

 

[automaniaman]

I'm liking it.

Absolutely stunning Sean, you must get one. I wonder if it will be at the Geneva Motor Show, as I'm going tomorrow ?

 

[Wheelsnuts]

Now that is a beautiful car!

Let's see what the price of the Aero actually comes out at - still says "TBC" on the website!

Odd these days to charge £3k extra for auto gearbox?

 

[camerafodder]

OK I'm going to buck the trend (flame suit on). I think its awful, very contrived and so obviously an impressionist version of a 427 Cobra. I know which I'd rather have...

Aero 8 base price confirmed by my Morgan dealer

I prefer they charge extra for auto so I can get a manual more cheaply
