In fairness Bud, I think that the new Plus 8 is a model that has come of age. I spoke to a new owner of a Plus 8 yesterday in Brighton and he had been a Porsche owner before and took the opportunity of the current market and sold his Porker and bought a new Plus 8 - his first Morgan.
He is delighted with it and shares Peter's youthful enthusiasm (!) for the marque and the model and is giving all his Porsche owning friends rides in it. It really is a stunning car and shares the modern comfort and road holding of the Aero chassis, with the looks and appeal of the trad-bodied cars.
You are welcome to drive mine when we meet up Bud, but in the meantime please don't mix-up enthusiasm for arrogance as we should all enjoy our Morgan's whatever they are! After all my other Morgan - SP1 is also a poverty model as it has no louvres at all.........go figure as our NA friends say...
