The current car is a development car, as Brian mentioned (and put various disclaimers against
), therefore, to judge it on aesthetics would be rather unfair at this point.
My hopes for the new Plus 8 are: a set of wheels and interior that bridges the gap between Aero and classic.
Whilst the Aero chassis and suspension don't require a higher sidewall on the tyre, it does suit the character of the car better. The actual rims, IMHO, need to be subtle and not ostentatious - the SS wheels are my least favourite of any Morgan wheel on offer. I'd love to see the +8 on a modern interpretation, or even an original set, of Minilites or similar without low profile tyres.
Interior - blend the old and the new. The dash looks promising but whilst the SS seats may be comfortable, I am not sure they sit well inside the car. They look too tall from Aeroman's photos but that could just be the images. The right leather treatment and excellent trim will really make the car special.
