Fortunately, there are only eight of these debatable cars and 50 Plus 8 cars that deserve one of the last V8 engines.
At the expensive price I would have preferred to see 8 Aero Supersports, upgraded with some nice features and more performance.

Williams have some good close up shots on instagram (there's 3 in the set - click a left/right arrow to see them) Nice detailing - but, still, I'd need to find they'd spent a shocking & delightful upspec in the interior to feel this car was worth the sticker price. Will

It will be interesting to see the car after a drive on a typical British road.....lots of filth being flung off the tyres and through those louvres etc 😳
I do think that it has rather missed the plot. I know that it is expensive to do very short runs but the car promises a lot visually but there’s only 367 bhp under the bonnet when it should be 500! They need a supercharger... In the USA you can get one for the big BMWs that used this engine. The claim was 100 bhp and 100 ft lbs. Aero Racing could fit it without any homologation issues. Then this last 8 could have been described as "The Most Powerful Aero Ever" Job done. BUT the last 8 will sell out without the need for MMC to spend any additional money, so from a commercial perspective, why bother?

Begs the question why are buyers so gullible paying, such a premiumn for what is no more than a marketting make over.

Yes - I did think Steve Morris made a good pitch in his launch speech.
I have to agree strongly with Peter J - but then I am a retired marketeer!

Because "they will be 8 different one-off car, and not 8 pieces of a final model", as Steve Morris said Slightly misleading mind though that statement by Steve Morris because aren't all Morgans one off cars in the sense everyone is spec'd differently. These last Aero 8's are the same (body panel wise the same as all Aero 8's) it will simply be the paint and interiors etc a customer can spec I imageine!! So they're no more one off than any other Morgan!!!

All of them are different but some of them are more different than the others.
