There's very little to touch an Aero for crowd appeal...
Living with it takes a little adjustment
- you quickly learn to measure speed bumps to a fine degree around 4 inches. A sump plate is essential.
- the boot *is* an odd shape, but you learn to pack around that (I heard at Blenheim that 3 pannier liners for a honda goldwing fit the drop section at the rear perfectly: must try that out)
- roof assembly is an art form - but when you get it right, it takes little longer than the time it takes your passenger to retrieve a car park ticket from a machine
- the roof slot is useful storage
- the roofs don't leak - hard or soft top. But it might take a day or two's fettling at the dealer to get the hard top to fit. Then you have a car that's easily usable year-round.
- the doors do leak. The factory fitted fatter seals to later built cars, and they apparently do seal properly.
- a decent DAC player will get good sound out of the speakers
- if you isolate the battery, the clock will always be wrong. But you can ask your dealer to wire it to be permanently live...
It's hand built, so you may well find something new and different isn't quite tickety boo with your car. I've had a bolt fall from under the dash... it might be part of the audio mount, it might not. I'm sure it'll be put back when the car next sees its dealer.
I've never had a Morgan before - and specced mine to keep long term. 15 months into ownership I've no reason to change my mind
