I must admit that I was pretty cynical about the cars when they were first announced. All body mods, standard interior and no increase in power. Seeing the cars in the metal at the Morgan weekend and they are stunning.....still need more power though to match the image.

Seeing the cars in the metal at the Morgan weekend and they are stunning.....still need more power though to match the image. Sorry to disagree, but I found exactly the reverse. I really liked the idea when I first heard about it, I envisaged some sort of street legal GT Racer, but to my eye they look like they are a previously classy car blinged up with a naff body kit. Very nouveau riche flash. One may as well have a Kahn body-kitted Range Rover.

I am more towards Tims comment but I imagine practicality for the final engines and homologation were a challenge. I would have loved something akin to the older GTN which had the 4.6 engine etc.
I would like the front wings with the vents on the Coupe

Alex Goy did the X Car report in my Speedster ( No 19) I thought he got it. Just said he loved the whole Morgan thing. Whatever that is.

What is that stuff that Steve's car has on the handbrake lever (in the video)? And is it my impression or that car has the Morgan logo behind the front grill (like the 8 on the latest plus 8)?

IS the stereo controller the same as a flux capacitor and takes it straight to 88 mph.

I don't quite get that. If you are taking your hand off the wheel to move to the radio position it is safer/closer than the position of the remote on the handbrake ? Is it some sort of alternative head unit ?
