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 ? Actually, it may well be safer. If you experiment sitting in the car, right hand on the wheel, left hand down on the handbrake, given the controller can be utilised by feel alone, you should have better control of the steering wheel and your view of the road than if your left hand is stretched out to the front and left. (on an Aero not as bad as say the Tesla as everything is so close!).

The superformed wings are quite thick alloy Howard so the louvres are rounded.
Annoying presenter.....why do they all speak in that cloned car show presenter way?
PS. Ha.....just beat me to it Martin! The wings are Superforned as you say Jays, but the louvres are hand-formed by Dave Cale and then welded into the wings. The rear diffuser is double-skinned and a real work of art, if I was an Aero 8 Series 5 owner I would certainly want one! 👌 Almost regardless of the cost... This is still what Morgan do so well and this car has some special features that few other manufacturers can replicate in the same way. Just a pity that the engines were not warmed over in some way too imho to create a real Sturdza GT3 homage. 👍👍

Thanks for the info Brian 🤓. I did wonder about the pressing of the louvres into the wing! Great job by Dave.

Still makes me think that the original GTN's are worth hanging on to.
Hope the US weather was as good as France Shooter.
