I've always been a fan of the Aero series but the rear never looked "right" to me, I love the new rear and love the looks from every angle , top marks to John Wells.
The clean rear lines look great and the filler cap placement is reminiscent of the TVR Tuscan, definitely would not stop me putting hand in pocket to place an order.
More of a concern would be spending in excess of £85k (with the options, hardtop not being one) unless the hood us fully sorted and MMC guarantee as leak free.
At this price point I would expect water tight hood to be a given , rather than leaks being part of "the Morgan charm and character"
From other posts it would appear that the hood is still in development , and as Mike H points out there are numerous soft tops that don't leak.
This point would be the deal breaker for me.

A rather unfortunate angle in Ales photo not helped by what looks like the use of a wide angle lens. The blue cars rear looks better with the twin tailpipes.
The test of a cars looks is seeing it in the flesh, walking around it in different light and seeing in in motion and the factory video of Mark driving the car shows it off to the best advantage.

Fuel filler in the boot = petrol in the luggage  not in the boot at all, just covered by the boot lid A foldover boot cover as for estate/ hatch with no parcelshelf etc would be fine.this would cover the boot when the lid is up. Can I please have a car on loan for extended testing of this idea?  I will feed back all views....

I do like this rear end but would like it more with an exposed spare wheel!
Even if it was done in the style of a Healey Silverstone. Or a clear bootlid a la Ferrari engine cover?You could then have a pull over lid with an image of a spare on it. Keeping luggage space intact?

Jays.....when I joined MSCC I went to the first couple of noggins solo. I took a photo of Lynne to one as a gesture to show them what she looked like, it was on a seat in lieu of her person. She was there in image if not person. Now she can't stay away..... We share the driving if in the tintop...I drive there and she drives home  When in the Mog I drive both ways
