A write up in the Sunday Live mag ( Daily Mail ) on the new +8 by James Martin he loves it even its faults claims Morgans are marmite cars . Had it around Goodwood and handles like a super car . The only thing he could find was at 6ft 3in he could not get the hood up over his head and the side screen on , but who does . The happy bit is Im not his height so I could handle it in comfort as he wrote it is very comfortable to shorter people .

Also a photo and small write up of the new AC 378GT Zagato 6.2 litre V8 its a cross between Aston , the prancing horse and the trident remove its badge and you would not have a clue what it is . Along with a new version of the Cobra on its way.

I am 6ft 5 so that's that dream over. Still at least the Aero is just about big enough and I mean just about !

Saw the new AC at goodwood breakfast meet a while back. Wondered what it was at the time and figured it was some kind of crazy prototype from the 90s that never made production. Odd looking thing...

How strange, I too saw it at Brooklands Supercar day on Sunday. Didn't give it a second look as thoughts were exactly the same as yours Rich!

With hindsight wish I'd looked closer at things like fit and finish etc. Right, off to read up about it smile

I didn't see this at Geneva, but especially like the sound of the AC Ace Classic at less than GBP50kin the UK. woohoo

Hoping this happens and it's not still-born? confused2

I wondered also, but then reading the article it seems that the cars didn't make press days due to customs cock up ....

I think it looks interesting.
