It does seem like a missed opportunity.

I recently watched a You Tube clip on the Connaught V10 Sports car from the early noughties. They only made one, but there are parts available to build a small number. The engine is a 2 Litre V10 and running on the bench it sounds glorious................................


Indeed: Morgan PR: "We're reintroducing the Aero line under our newly-acquired Bristol brand, perfectly blending Bristol's aviation heritage with Morgan's forward-looking luxury coupes." Would've allowed Morgan to prototype innovations and charge more for them.

... I saw that too - wasn't the Connaught also hybrid, which you'd have thought would make it particularly relevant now.
