the max was a very limited run, how about eva? Ludo, the indication is that the EvaGT will be a standard production model - like the Classic range and the Aero 8 when it was still in production.

that's what I thought so I dont think one can expect the car to retain it's value as much as the max.

I just received this from Morgan Motor Company; a very nice angle and photo of the EvaGT: -

Simon, the pictures Morgan sent you are mine. For some reason, they haven't had anyone take any official shots at Pebble Beach, or if they have, they've not got them back to the factory yet. I've just sent them all my pictures so they can use them for the web and MSN.

That looks really super from these views, quite a wide door too so ingress and egress should be relatively easy.

that's what I thought so I dont think one can expect the car to retain it's value as much as the max. Isn't the 'Max the second most numerous of the Aero derivatives? Doesn't seemed to have affected resale values. The more I see of the Eva, the better it looks.

The more I see of the Eva, the better it looks. In volume I thought it was: Series I, Series IV, then AeroMax? I agree about the Eva's looks. Brian

I dont think you can just do the maths like that. The max was a limited run from the start, the aero on the other hand was not and was a model that had evolutions hence the devaluation of the later compared to the former. the eva client based will not be the same as the max. As some pointed out expect to see this car go well beyong the morgan enthusiast community and reach the car ark of football pitches, the garages of rich russian and other people wanted to be notice. typically these people dont hold on their toys for too long, it's only last as long as the time it takes the new must have to come out and this will drive the price down on the used market because the turnaround for these cars will be much higher than for the max.
Personnally I just hope that it will a profitable car for morgan that allows them to keep offering niche product for the true enthusiasts (not meaning that those who will buy the eva are not but the proportion will be much lower).
PS: these wheels are not suited to the car IMO (looks like volk TE37 that one can find in all the good tuning shop for japenese cars?), the ones on the rendering were better.

I also find the looks of the new Morgan growing on me with time ~ a sign of good design? As yet I am yet to see an awkward angle which is an improvement over some later Mog designs.

The Eva GT looks great. Especially the profile and rear end are stunning. The front, as usual for new Morgan models, needs some tidying: I am not sure sure about the recessed grille Harald
