Never going to get too many changes for eight cars - wouldn’t be economically viable.
Look at the million+ quid price tags for some of the jag/Aston etc special builds.

Completely agree Clipper, there will not be too many changes.
The Jaguar XK220 ran only 275 cars I believe and the Aston One-77 only 77. They may well have been £1 million price tags but the difference here is they were designed and then built from the ground up. I don't believe the Aero GT is. I'd hazard a guess it's the exact same rolling stock as a standard S5.
If I'm wrong mind......I may well be getting my own cheque book out....if I can get hold of one!!!

I'm not so sure they have Ale. Whilst the press release stated they had all been sold, it was possibly dealers that have bought them all and they will be looking to off load them. That was certainly the case with the dealer I spoke to.

It cannot really be significantly changed in the engine/drivetrain or it would breach the engine certification and the other registrations. Twaeking the panels for a run as short as that will cost in hours.
Lets face it they don't really need to rework it to make it sound like a monster - they just fit the dual sidepipes and hey presto! If memory serves the race car was toooooo noisy. Having watched it at Silverstone I can confirm it was a lot noisier as it passed and glorious with it.
The price does seem a little fruity to me as well. I suspect the Plus 8's will sell like rockets.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.
