I think the trad models are valid because for many customers it is the only practical way to experience a genuine classic car and the outdated design aspects are essential to that experience. The aero models were equally valid because of the adventurous styling with a new chassis concept for Morgan, allied with the Morgan coachbuilt bodywork. What makes me uneasy is putting a trad style body on the new chassis. Is that an advance on the Plus 8 concept or is it the start of making cars that are just a pastiche of a true Morgan
Very well put. I bought a Morgan because I was looking for a vintage driving experience without the hassle. It provided exactly that. The 4/4 is the most vintage of the range, and the one I've always found the most charming.
I like the Aeros, and admire the courage it took to build such a striking modern take on the traditional Morgan shape, particularly with the stunning Aeromax. The new style plus 8 seemed like a bit of a step backwards, as you say, to being a pastiche.
I accept that they are great cars, but it's not the Aero model I would choose personally.
