As a matter of interest, how is the fit and finish compared to a company like Porsche?

Trent, it feels very much like a coach-built car. The quality is good but cannot be compared to a mass produced car (even against the relatively small numbers of the 911, circa 30,000 per annum). Hand built is very much the feel with both all the positive and negative aspects of this process. I'd say if you want perfection (i.e. like a main stream car), you'll be able to find minor faults with the Aero (or any other Morgan) but if you want character, soul and a bespoke, hand built car, you cannot find better imho

A very fair post I think Simon, if you want perfection or as close to it as you can get in a car, buy a Toyota. If you want a hand-built car with a soul and some human frailty in the finish; buy a Morgan. Porsche's fall somewhere in between these two extremes imho. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
