I don't see those two in competition with each other.
The new +8 is an Aero so will appeal more to Aero fans.
The Roadster is traditional in every respect.
So It's the Roadster for me every time.
Not trying to be controversial here and genuinely interested Mr W, why is the new plus 8 an Aero?
I'm an Aero man having owned two, and I see it as a trad?
It's got a trad body, trad doors and trad features galore on show. I think we've pretty well established that trads can have a variety of engines, so the engine is not the defining factor. Leaving just the chassis. Are you defining a trad by it's chassis only?
I strongly believe the "A Morgan is a Morgan...." adage so don't really care if it's actually described as an Aero or a trad. However it's pretty obvious that MMC see it as a trad, or do they?
