Well it has certainly rattled a few cages and got people talking. I am sure there will be 50 buyers and the name Bosworth they knew would be a seller.

The lights could do with a one way mirrored finish so that you can't see in but the light can get out.
To avoid the compound insect eye.
They may get away with them on 4x4 but on a a car with morgans looks it's a tad jarring.

S1aero headlights were a downer. They should consider sorting these to prevent a repeat of similar comments....

Negative comments on Pistonheads about the lights.
Am sure that when I win the lottery tonight and place my order we will sort them out!

"which should make an appreciable difference to center of gravity?"
How, out of interest? engine is mounted lower due to dry sump, moving center of gravity lower down .. possibly! But then the oil tank is moved higher causing the centre of gravity to move up again the engine is much heavier than the oil tank

There may be 50 buyers but I will not be one of them. I personally think there are a few design errors, or at least "features" that I don't like. There are some that I do like.
I would want the tacho where I could see it for a start, particularly in a car with a sporty engine. Is the bottom of the dash rolled under? That looks nice.
Sound system controls in the glovebox? So in other words no glovebox? As someone said, now that the handbrake has been moved, why not bring the audio system forward under the dash where you can reach it. It could even have a centre console that sits between the to of the gearbox cover and the dash.
I really don't like the sharp angular squared off top of the gearbox cover. It seems almost dangerous.
I think the LED headlights look strange on a classic styled car.
I too like the fly off handbrake but I could live with a conventional handbrake and I can see Morgan has a different target demographic for this car.
I do like very much (surprise, surprise) the fact that 50 years after most other sports car manufacturers abandoned leaf springs they have finally re-thought the rear suspension. Why they have not also changed the chassis to arc it over the axle
The wheels look good.
In the end I think Morgan are trying to cater to a younger demographic, not a bad thing, someone who would consider a Caterham but wants something a bit more spacious.

Head lamps aside I like the car ,lots of thoughts over night have high lighted a few things . No storage other than a small glove box,no door pockets or provision as yet for a boot rack important on a sports tourer I would have thought. The centre consol needs some protection for the left leg or a rethink,that alloy edge looks mighty hard and all that space would make a great storage tray. A nice thick leather rimmed Mota Lita steering wheel instead of the race thingy . Two power points one for sat nav one for phone charging etc. Heated seats for sunny winter driving . Another sleep and another list tomorrow !!!
