    Love Aero, this is my favourite Morgan, I'm really surprised how incredibly passionate is Charles with it. I hope Morgan will follow this path in the future.

    Have to agree with him when he says that a Citroen saxo is fun to drive, miss my old saxo. My civic R is shocking compared to it.
    I've had the pleasure of having a tour of their factory through University and everyone that works there is a joy to talk to, they are so full of passion they enjoy being there.

    This chap seems to be a very humble guy. Not pretentious at all and very open. Quite refreshing. I can imagine the young designer was jumping for joy when he got called in. Fantastic story. Incidentally a 200k price point would dampen a lot of inspiration in my view. It's important to know Beauty and craftsmanship are just a few steps up a ladder and not just the domain of the super rich. Ford would have been proud I think that Morgan kept it real and that is why they are loved.

  • @gwwayner

    If the Morgan Aero was parked next to a Ferrari or Lambo, you can be sure this Morgan would be the first car people would walk over and look at! The 1930s Art Deco look is just so cool. The emphasis on light weight is also an overlooked big plus.

    I could never afford a Morgan Aeromax but i do admire Mr. Morgan greatly and think that what was done to him was disgraceful. i especially think that his comment about committing to 100 and then being able to make 300, but deciding against it, was an indication of the kind of integrity so missing from many organisations. we miss you Charles and wish you were back.

    really interested to see who they try to 'replace' Charles Morgan with (as family representative and brand ambassador). I can't see how they can fill his shoes to be honest; he has the family name, he's incredibly passionate and a bit of a dandy(not a bad thing in this case) and people do warm to him. I cd be wrong but my feeling is the trad Morgan buyer as well as the middle eastern/chinese/russian buyer cd relate to him (the way it needs to be nowadays) - this alone surely helped sell a good few cars. Just what did he do to get sacked ?!

    Can we charge 100,000 dollars for a car?!? There are cars in the million dollar range that don’t look half as good or have a quarter of the meaning or history. These cars are works of art, and the only mass production vehicle that even comes close is the Alfa Romeo 8C. But I would argue these are still better.

    He really gets it, huh? Light weight makes a car fun. The engine shouldn't be over the front wheels. The car shouldn't inspire envy. What surprised me the most is that whenever I see cars that appear to have more aesthetics than engineering, I expect the creators to have the personalities of fashion designers. Morgan seems like a really nice car guy, though.

    They need to build 500,000 of these every year for 6 years. That way you have spare parts for some time. Here in America, they crash stuff at alarming rates. Plus fires,hurricanes, tornadoes, vandals,and floods. That 1st 500,000 cars would be used up quickly.
