It's interesting to read Peter's impressions - he's had far more time in Morgans than I have.
& I had the Williams demonstrator for the weekend, and did a couple of hundred miles in it.
Yup, the air con needs recharging.
This car is chassis #5, and was built in Dec/Jan. I guess it's then sat around waiting for the dealer driveaway, and then hasn't had much call to blow cold air on short test drives + our recent "summer" weather.
The audio isn't quite *there* yet.
There's 4 speakers - two behind, and two in the doors.
Taller people (that's me!) can hear the door speakers, but not the behind ones.
Less-tall folk get the base sounds from the behind speakers, but not the mid & treble from the doors.
At the very least, it needs a front/rear balance control.
Interiors are a matter of taste.
Last week there was a car at the factory in a beautiful & different colour scheme - duck egg blue + camel leather, and non-airbag chrome steering wheel. The whole concept gave a 60's vibe, and worked.
I'd expect some owners may want to personalise their interior, to lift it from the factory spec... I guess Morgan owners are a breed more likely to do that than others.
+ I had several plays with the roof - raising and lowering, solo & with help. It's a very straightforward sequence of steps, and quite quick once you know the dance.
Yesterday at Blenheim I watched a trad owner wrangling their trunk onto its rack - I'm sure that took longer ;-)
& all the other good things that you'd expect an Aero to do?
Yes, it does those with aplomb.
70 mph is a very relaxed cruise... a couple of paddle flips unleashes serious noise & acceleration... handling & braking are far in excess of what should ever be needed on public roads.
And there's smiles, waves, jaws do drop, fingers point and heads turn as the car passes by...
