I've driven the cream Aero 8, and the factory +8 demonstrator.
They're clearly different beasts, of different temperaments.
isn't the +8 demo built on the 'old' aluminium chassis? and isn't the plan for +8s to use the same chassis and drivetrain as the Aero 8; so in future, there will be no real mechanical difference?

SFO...
the +8 Demonstrator will have the "Traditional Aero Chassis" whilst the S5 Aero 8 has the new one.
At some point the +8s will migrate to the S5 Aero chassis. When? No one seems to know.
It will be very interesting to compare the S5 Chassis used under the new +8 with the Traditional Aero Chassis.
This is getting confusing....

My understanding is that the Plus 8s that will be built this summer, will have the new suspension fitted.

Its just that Aluminium does not smell nearly as nice as wood.
However the experience is wicked.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

So, are you all sitting comfortably, then let's begin. Best seat in the V8 house.
