Come now Brian, since when have car magazine editorials been bound by the truth?!
Top Gear, as has been said time and time again, became entertainment rather than studied review many years ago (the magazine is more information focused than the TV program but that isn't saying much).
As Morgan enthusiasts, we have to have thick skin (especially as I stated before, as the MSRP increases) because many motoring journalists simply don't
get these idiosyncratic cars. If you need further proof, read the
Top Gear Morgan Roadster review (7/10, a slating and the conclusion: - "As fine a British institution as cold showers and buggery, and about as comfortable, the Morgan Roadster is an antiquated indulgence that you shouldn’t want but absolutely will the second you step aboard."
Most journalists don't get Morgans - Classic or Aero - plain and simple.
I remember reading reviews of the Aeromax that were predominantly positive, with a few negatives thrown in (my personal favourite was the celebrity chef who reviewed Brian's car for the Weekend Telegraph or some similar weekend supplement and got upset because he burnt his ankle on the side exits) and yet they all rolled out the same dull copy: looks like something Bruce Wayne would drive, made of wood, more leather than a gentleman's smoking club, blah, blah blah."
Invariably they all closed with, "it doesn't matter what I think because they are all sold and there is a waiting list", in essence making all their previous comments pointless other than for entertainment purposes... which neatly brings us back to Top Gear.
Journalists, don't take them seriously. Drive the car and make your mind up for yourself. Or at least let Aeroman take you for a spin (not literally! because that is Steve 1560's job))
