96 Club meeting at the Royal Chelsea Hospital
What a fabulous open top car day it has been. As a founder member of the 96 Club I joined our group with my roadster at our usual venue only to be told by Michael"Scottie" that at the far end of the line up was the new Morgan plus 8!!  ---I had test driven the first all black version just before Christmas, when I had taken my car back to the factory for a service. What I had not expected to see this morning was the staggering orange red glow colour that seemed to vibrate on the car ---interior finished in black leather---super combination and a real eye catcher. I was pleased to meet also for the first time Jon Wells (factory designer) and Caroline MMC photographer.Both a massive credit to the factory in their knowledge and enthsiasm for the car which they amply conveyed to the many gathered.

Looks great. My only reservation about the new plus 8's looks is to do with the headlights. With the wings being so very wide, I can't help feeling the front would look better if the headlights were a) moved slightly inboard and b) slightly larger diameter.

A great car  and I am amazed that with that whacking great engine, they still managed to put the battery in there as well .

Sorry but it just doesnt do it for me, the front is so far removed from a true Morgan look that it looks like a clumsy garage built special

What it needs are something along the lines of say a VW Beetle
