DalesPlusFour ..... this thread may be yet another uniquely Morgan thing .... when you have a 100+ years of company history of making cars that engage their owners to the point they survive, passed on as heirlooms .... and nearly a century later you're still producing cars instantly recognisable as 'family menbers' ... you end up with a driver base with wildly varying reasons for owning a Morgan .... other brands are old, but their cars have changed so radicaly over the years that you get a fragmented 'fan base' .....people collect old Citroens but have no connection to the person driving out of the dealership with this year's model .... not so Morgan ... with no other company could you drive your fresh from the showroom Plus 4 up the road behind a 70 year old 4/4 and no-one but a Morgan-Pundit could tell them apart .... we may all have hugely varying expectations of what we want out of out Morgans but we are all still 'Morganeers' (even those masochistic weirdos with not enough wheels and oil stained goggles! 🙂) .... long may that continue with the Supersport and its offspring.

Completely on the same page! Thus my confusion over so much of the negativity. The Plus Four is, as you say, so similar as to be indistinguishable from the old ones to the uninitiated.
The Aero, however, was different and evidently a look towards the future. The Supersport is, as the company have said, an Aero successor. At the launch it was an Aero 8 and Aero Max they had on display before the big reveal. The Supersport fits this brief in my view. Its a look to the future with, possibly, even a stronger foot in the past than the Aero had at the time.
So taken as a whole in 2025 a new or returning buyer to Morgan can choose from:
Super3 - A wild and deeply entertaining 3 wheeled adventurer. Plus Four- A conservative and traditional iteration on one of the longest running cars in automotive history. Supersport - A powerful retro-modern take on the Morgan design language that serves as a true range topping sportscar.
They're all light. They're all fun. They're all hand crafted. They're all made in England. They're all compliant and homologated for the necessary legislation. And you can buy them to order, however you like, in 2025.
And if one thinks they're too expensive go and have a look at the absolute bargains on the pre-owned page.
To be clear, the cars that many of you say you prefer from the Morgan history books simply could not be made and sold today. Although falling under alternative compliance standards due to being a small volume manufacturer there are still compliance standards they must meet.
