I'll bet anyone a tenner that you'll be hard pushed to get a car on the road for less than £90K with reasonable options; eg. some of
metallic paint stereo / satnav steering wheel auto box + paddles leather upgrades fancy dashboard stuff that Jon Wells was discussing hard top (which I hope fits better - sound like it will and is more useful than before) Side exhausts Mohair hood (I do hope not on this car - must be standard!) Wheel upgrades Build record
My guess is you need to get it to £95K to be spec'd with auto box, paddles, carbon seats
I just hope this works as it's deep into 911 F Type convertible territory.
I'm starting to save up though!!!!

Well done MMC, a stunning car, love it.  Does anyone know if it'll be available in North America.

It is truly wonderful that we all have different tastes but, as others have alluded to (largely over the well-made but equally awful SP1), some of you would be better placed in a tale by Hans Christian Andersen given your sycophantic critique!
I sometimes wonder if Morgan put a badge on an invalid carriage, sprayed it pink and installed bright green leather, whether any of you would utter anything but praise...
Anyway, in my honest opinion, this Emperor is naked and his rear-end is atrocious.

I must agree I'm very glad it did not resemble the sp1 in any way ,however I like the new Aero on paper and hope to see it close up on my next factory visit next month . I still maintain the S1 's rear end is the best .

MMC - Fantastic styling I love it
A great thing to return to open top motoring and I particularly like the rear end and the interior
Fabulous !

Congratulations Morgan on a stunning new open top British muscle car,cant wait to see it in the flesh and priced very well compared to the plus 8.We could sell the house and live in the caravan,I wonder.

Here ! Here! The more I look at the car the more I like it. Some good evolutionary changes to the old Aero8. Hopefully the price will be held ..... Off to buy a lottery ticket!

Anyway, in my honest opinion, this Emperor is naked and his rear-end is atrocious. The biggest question for me is whether the talk of it "being better put together" actually means it. Until I have seen it in the flesh I can't say whether it is better looking than the SS - which itself has some angles with aren't quite right - or whether it has just been put together with a very good colour combination. The photos seem to do the rear deck justice - whether it actually works is another matter. The CF seats are lovely though!
