Morgan Aero 8 Supersports You could so easily walk away from the Morgan focusing on its tangible failings that just don't exist in modern cars : visible windscreen bondings; lack of heated seats (although the diff/transmission did a good job anyway); a flickering air-con light; woeful air-con performance (although it was 27c outside); a terrible looking stereo; a complete lack of standard equipment. But the Morgan doesn't trade on that, instead it goes down the road less well trodden. It tugs at your heart strings with looks that only a mother could love; it serenades you with a soundtrack that Killing Joke would have been proud to have written; and it reminds you, without a shadow of doubt, that driving, real, unfettered driving, is about emotion. It is about making you smile. And in the case of the Morgan, it is about making everyone else who sees and hears it smile too.
This must be one of the best write-ups of a SuperSport that I have read Ken. The only thing that I don't understand is that having been won over in this way, why you didn't buy it on the spot?
I must say that having had several Aero's, and they all had their strong points, the SuperSport is the one that I preferred out of all of them.
Unfortunately I've now sold it, as I have another Mog on order in the system, but the guy who bought it was so enamoured that he bought another Aero (LH-drive) for his house in France, despite the fact that he has a collection of cars already!
A gratuitous photo in memory...
Don't hesitate Ken, just go for it..
Cheers
