I drove the car today. It sounds superb....the video just didn't pick up the sound terribly well. Throaty, great intake noise, very few pops and bangs but nice burble on deceleration. The engine feels very sharp. The roads were pretty damp and I didn't want the embarrassment at having to take a bent car back to work...so I can't comment on pushing the car hard around bends, but the rear suspension over bumpy roads is very good....nicely planted and comfortable.
The brakes are a real improvement on the standard set up. Less brake pedal travel, perhaps due to the rear discs and a lot more feel and bite.
Starting the car is interesting...no key as such, just a fob that slips into a slot on the dash to the right of the steering wheel (Nice suede covered wheel by the way!) to switch off the immobiliser, a switch on the dash to turn on engine electrics and then a flick of the starter switch below....it feels special!
When I first saw the car originally I didn't like the interior. Sitting in it and driving it and I've changed my mind....the dash looks good and different, the brushed alloy door panels with Morgan logoed leather door pulls work well. The sharp edged gearbox cover didn't dig into my legs as I thought it might and as a whole, the interior works and makes the car feel special. I would have liked a "Powered by Cosworth" badge somewhere though!
