AERO ROADSTER (AEROADSTER)
Using photoshop (or other similar drawing programs) I have: -Taken a picture of a Morgan Aeromax or of an Aero Supersport (it's the same for my rough try-out); -Maintained the lower section of the car, except the metallic-roof; -Cut-away the metallic-roof; -Put in the leather-seats and added a metallic boot lid, respecting the original shape of the car. That's for me how the new AERO-ROADSTER (or simply the new AEROADSTER) should be. Probably I'm wrong but the line of the car is more harmonious (IMHO) than the Aero 8 S5 showed at the 2015 Geneva car show, and it has the merit to preserve entirely the (rear-end) family feeling of the other Aero models.

Looks really good, much better than the MMC one. Perhaps you like to design a bespoke version of this car with the upper surface or the rear made of yacht deck wood, this would look very classy. The "Côte d'Azur Aero". http://chrisoncars.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/24rolls_silverghost_bouchard.jpg

 Just looked over my shoulder and informs me its not a true Morgan unless it has louvres all the way down the bonnet . I like it and the colour wonder if I can have some holes in the bonnet to keep her happy the silly woman is mog crazy wants everything just right don't know where she gets it from .

Rather a shame you didn't find a solution to the ugly rear number plate mounting. Something that the new Aero8 has done.

Many thanks for your comments. Jays, I have not changed the number plate holder since it is not a problem for me......I don't say I like it......simply I consider it as an administrative requirement accessory for vehicles running on public roads, and I hope, in the future, technology will be able, more effectively, replace it with an electronic device to control everything about the vehicle. Moreover, Morgan sportscars are race-addicted and the body shape doesn't consider the presence of a number plate (look at body shape of the 3-Wheeler, Trad Morgans, Plus 8, Aeromax, Aero SuperSport, and you'll see only "ugly" and "temporary" number plate holder; you could quickly get rid of them and the car shape is just perfect). I'm more concerned now about the well-done number plate holder the new Aero 8 S5 has shown on the rear end shape. Is that a signal the Morgan DNA is changing?

Nice ideas, thanks for sharing! Not sure the trad front end would work with the 3 wheeler, but it was interesting to see car front wheels in that sketch. Also got curious with the SP1 2+2 version, oh and LOVED the barchetta study!
