I often have the hood up on my Plus8 - trad type- as it is used in all weathers. I have an everflex stud hood. I am experimenting with seam sealer to cure drips from seams etc. For the new Aero 8, being a a £100k car ( how many will actually see life at £80k?) the hood appears to be a let down. Also the boot hinges...need sorting. A Targa top would be nice.....semi hardtop style allowing open top driving. People criticised the S1 aero when it came out for the "cross-eyed" look. It didn't worry me as I am a Citroen fan...remember their features? No doubt the cars will sell in the limited volume expected so Morgan targets will be met. As Morgan converts we have our views on keeping to tradition versus modernisation/evolution but Morgans must evolve both from legislature and customer needs so the idea of the car is good. I hope the owners get genuine pleasure from owning them and there aren't bugs or issues to come out of the woodwork( not literally by the way!). If the car IS a new one as the blurb says then on past history there may be some? I hope not.
