GRP (and other composite) bodies can be just as good if designed that way. Modern F1 cars are a good example smile

You're getting a bit old to pull that one Steven, you know it was designed by a proper youngster!

My 2p - excellent work Morgan. I spoke with Matt Humpfries (sp?) at Silverstone 08 and thought they should develop exactly this sort of car. Remove the back seat you can drive with luggage distance GT style but not. I don't really see the need to have a convertible they are generally a pain in the ass. Something like a baby Aston but handmade custom and more individual. Good work, I can see plenty of younger people aspiring to one or buying one, like I did when the Aero came out.
Sorry I find reading design nit picking rather dull. It's a bit like the conversation you get with an Aero. A passerby starts chatting about him or his friend who used to run a 3 wheeler back in the day and how great they were etc..
PS
That you can get the Supersports on Playstation too can only be a good thing for Morgan

How I disagree! Just returned from "Morgans at Windermere" organised by Fellmog. The glorious majestic scenery can never be appreciated when sitting in a "tin-top".
