Saw this car at Bicester Unscramble on Sat. It was front and central in the hanger, with a white ceramic exhaust and neat hard top. Wondered if it was significant but guessed it was the continuation run using the ex-Bristol chassis… https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/new-morgan-plus-8-gtr-exclusive-v8-special-edition

This is homage to the MMC race car "Big Blue" which had a Chevrolet engine,(after the Rover V8s proved unreliable in the state of time needed to be competitive.
You can see bits of the early "transition" car blended in with the later Aero 8 models. Not sure the picture does it full justice , I think I would want to see it in the metal.

Several threads on this already Heard it driven across MMC car park on Friday. Looks like it does not have side exhausts , but i am guessing it still made a "healthy" noise Graham?

You could have an "exhaust off" with the orange G63 in the background. In that hanger it would be hilarious.
Is that a blow off ?

Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

I once asked about the start up noise of the orange M8 Can-Am they have on display at Mclaren. They said it wasn't started inside since it blew the ceiling tiles out when they first tried it!
