I really don't buy into the 'Dispensing with everything except that which is necessary for going fast' claim. But it's a staggering looking thing. Surely the star of Geneva.

Apparently the new Morgan is the lightest V8 passenger vehicle in the world...

At a relatively 'lardy' 1,100 Kg that makes the Morgan V8 twice the weight of the 500

It does not really matter what is under the bonnet, the bonnet will still not fit properly, Mine went back to the factory 3 times and that they still could not get it right. They can keep them.

I liked my Plus 8... except in the wet. Then it was a total nightmare.

Nice looking car, shame it does not have decent engine in it. Think they still use an old transit engine ???

Bit harsh...there are perhaps more modern engines available....but it didn't seem to do the reviews any harm.
