I love the Aero 8. For some reason they remind me of modern day Jensen Interceptors (which I love even more), not aesthetically, but more the concept.
Thinking about it, very British, luxury interior, big V8 from another manufacturer, simple design with quirky features, maybe it's a more obvious parallel than I first thought.
For those who can, buy one.

If I was striving for the "quirky" look I would save up and get one of these "8's" .

A Morgan is one of the few cars that would tempt me out of a Mercedes - If I had the money
When I was 21 yrs old, I met a young lady from our London office who owned a white Morgan. She used to pick me up at East Croydon. Sadly the meetings were for business purposes only.
Being in a Morgan just felt like something to be treasured - Especially with a beautiful young lady with long blonde hair.
Sean - Get one and enjoy it !

Do you have to lift the boot to fuel up?
You'll look like a right one at the pump!

I would hazard a guess it is aimed primarily at US market - so [mostly] no front plate.
Have to agree about the front look - every detail is just slightly OTT, giving a "trying too hard" overall impression. Gorgeous side view though.

yes
I can't see a problem with that, it's the same on my TVR; it means you don't have a fuel cap spoiling the lines. It does, very occasionally, result in the garage cashier switching the pump off because they don't know what you're doing
, but I got wise to that after they did it the first time.
