Sorry ignore the first video - early car but not a prototype.

That's a good find - especially the fifth one with the Steve Morris interview.
It is particularly interesting to look at the front end at 6:30, especially the angle of the steering arms...

Disk brake and Toyo Proxes T1R in the back.
Hmmm, what´s the tyre size in the back again? 175/55/15?
I can´t find the T1R´s in that size, only 185/55/15.
Has it changed as the car was developed?
Will 185/55/15 fit, or will it touch the belt?

Thanks for posting
I think I had seen them before but worth watching again.
After the 4th video, YouTube automatically cued up the video when Jay Leno drove the prototype into the grass in Malvern which was fun
Hadn't seen that before

Big difference between Charles Morgan's press conference, which seemed passionate and from the heart, and Steve Morris introducing the new Aero 8 this year, who was reading word for word from an iPad which he was rehearsing in front of everyone in the last minutes before the start.. Just saying...

No doubt Charles Morgan was the one for the job regards promoting Morgan cars. Steve Morris comes across as genuine to me,just totally different people. A shame we don't have Charles though!
Regards the 3 wheeler with reference to Peter Dron's book, Charles Morgan initially took some convincing to bring back the car. A drive in the Liberty ACE it seems did the trick!
Back to the prototype 6.30 in the video a big difference in the mudguards they seem to come further forward to me. The aero screens seem smaller? I prefer the look of the bullet mirrors but would think they are not much use?
