Not at all. I love the concept of the EVA GT and when they get the design tidied up a bit (grille too large, windscreen weird shape) I would love to own one. No, my beef, from day one of the design of the Aero 8, is that Morgans have made an appalling attempt to design (if that is the right word) a vehicle that merely harks back to the beautifully evolved traditional car. Apart from being horrendously ugly and totally out of proportion the Aero has nothing whatsoever in common with its forebears other than being a tasteless pastiche. In that respect it is no better than a Panther Lima or any other kit car loosely based on a traditional vehicle. It is more Deep Sanderson than Morgan in its mechanicals so why stick a silly body on it? That it should be produced by the actual manufacturer of the real thing is preposterous!
However, Morgans have tapped into a wholly new market, albeit one populated by transient buyers who are prepared to lose a lot of money as first purchaser, that in itself being a new concept for Morgan ownership. Morgans should, in my opinion, have produced an EVA type car instead of the Aero and continued with the traditional car as long as they were able. Still, each to their own, my stated thoughts are merely an opinion to which we are all entitled. I didn't think it was possible to make the Aero any more tasteless, then I saw the Simmonds car!
