Looks amazing and having had a 335 BMW, so is the engine. Won't sound like a plus 8 but it's performance will be matched and what about the MPG. Guess the road tax will be reduced also.
Excluding the sound, what not to like
It will be interesting to how the driving experience compares.

Look a fabulous thing, but what a shame it “looks just like all the other Morgan’s”
The beauty of the Aero Range was it had the Morgan DNA but looked like nothing else. I suppose the Aero Range was a risk that didn’t pay off? (Although it left us the aluminium chassis) hopefully it will sell well, but it doesn’t ignite the spark in me that the V8 engined cars did.

I will be keen to try one.... looks good fun. Auto only is an interesting move.... I think there'll be a healthy market in replacement gear sticks!

Interesting, but I was expecting a replacement for the Aero, this looks like it fills the plus 8 gap, I'm sure we will see an Aero replacement at some stage.
I wouldn't worry about it being auto, I have that 8 speed box in my 335 and it is brilliant (coming from somebody who hated autos).

As an all new model shame it has the same clock locations as Roadster. Maybe for the same reasons though i.e. they were tied to engine package.

Simon Morgan have said this will sit at the top end of the current range, but it isn't an Aero replacement or a flagship. Apparently details on that will be forthcoming in a year or two.. So it looks like an Aero replacement will be on the cards, considering they have already developed this it makes logical sense to assume an Aero 6, and perhaps either a more highly tuned version (Aero 6+?) or even another new engine, Aero Turbo perhaps..

I really hope so, something as “bonkers” as the Aero would be my wish....
