Are all the cars going to dealers or have the "chosen few" been given the 1st option to buy - does anyone know or is it all speculation ?


Richard, The £120k Aero is no where near the quality of my £28k Audi and never will be at any price - but I accept it and love it anyway.

That's just how it is.

Better comparing a mass produced quality car and a Morgan with the wife and a beautiful but highly strung and expensive mistress (I imagine).

Both give pleasure and problems in different ways.


Well thanks for your honest appraisal and analogy David that puts it a little more in perspective thumbs.

Well, they have to justify putting another 50% on the price tag!

First you lower the picnic table and then the boot pops open to display the handsome carbon fibre picnic basket and foldup alloy and cordura chairs hide

This being Morgan, they won't have worked out how to do the rear yet - it'll be a work in progress, like the carbon roof.

I guess that's why we're only seeing teaser pics of the front - that's as far as they've got with the GT design
