To give a little more detail to this thread, I'm breaking cover to admit to buying this car and don't regret it one bit. Thought I would give it a few hundred miles before "coming out" just in case!
After letting the Aero series 5 go earlier this year, I was in the market to do some more Morgan but could not decide. Thought about a Roadster but soon decided that would not work for us. Seriously considered a Plus Four, superb car but somehow doesn't quite give what I'm looking for at this stage. Had a quick discussion with Peter J about the Plus 8 and decided to go on the hunt. Not much out there as stated earlier in this thread so went prospecting to the factory without necessarily intending to buy. However, having test driven it, my wife was more convinced than I, can't ignore that endorsement! even the dog approves though she flatly refused to travel in the Aero 8, explain that!
In conclusion, the car is just great fun to drive, feels more nimble and rapid that the 8. The plan is to further develop the car, have made some adjustments already and more planned in the new year. I would like to speak to the previous owners just to have the complete history, not sure how to go about that given our privacy rules.
Will post some pictures of the car as it is now if anyone is interested.
