    Wonder how we get 5 different in-car camera angles from ONE in-car camera? Here's how: ua-cam.com/video/hlMhrLT6q20/v-deo.html
    And here's the camera producing the exterior shot facing the windscreen: The TINY Insta360 Go 2: www.insta360.com/sal/go_2?insrc=INR8Q2C

      It was a fun day! A very English experience and the roads and landscape in the area are pretty awesome... Much narrower than in the US but that's what makes them that much more of a thrill. Thanks for watching Elliott 🤙

    It was a pleasure meeting you guys and Jayem at the event! The Plus Four you drove is my favorite of the current range as it has a manual gearbox. I can wholeheartedly agree the tour was awesome and a must for fellow petrolheads.👍🏾

    As always, great video guys! I'm actually a huge secret Morgan fan. My old boss had an Aero 8 (previously belonged to Rowan Atkinson - or so he led me to believe). I really must head down to the factory and grab some content like this - looks like you both had a total blast - I just love how genuine your excitement and curiosity for the cars is - it really sucks me into the video and makes me want to learn from you both!

    What a day to remember you guys had. I do like the Morgan, classic styling with a modern twist. I couldn't imagine driving one with flappy padels though. For the sort of car they look and are they need to be a manual. Another awesome video lads, the vlog style and the editing is spot on. Very entertaining.

    The AeroMax you show at 7:23 was the factory demonstrator and used by Charles for much of the PR. The Aero models first came out in 1999 with Modern Beetle headlamps fitted on "wrong" sides leading to the Clarence cross eye issues. From the S3-4 and then the Max onwards they had the intended modern Mini headlamps you see there. Try one with the dual sidepipes and hear the V8 at high revs, you will laugh your heads off.

    • @sportzntouring
      @sportzntouring  3 роки тому

      Ooooh maybe! As a low volume manufacturer they do need to raid the parts bins of other manufacturers, as it's way too expensive to type approve parts like this. The headlights are from a mini apparently.

      Probably... And Mini headlights apparently. This is to keep the costs down. Otherwise this would need to sell for many times the £160k it went for as new. Type approval and tooling on bespoke low volume parts is not cheap 😬

      @sportzntouring  3 роки тому

      This is what differentiates the brand, this design language. It's loved because of it. To change, they'd have to tread carefully. It's really not down to the design team. It's up to the custodians of the brand and their product strategy. Hope you could still enjoy the video 😁

      They are a pastiche of the old Morgans. They get away with it as they can serve a limited market. But a great alloy chassis and BMW drive chains are crying out for a modern body that justifies the cost of these cars. There’s a great chief designer there who surely must be champing at the bit to produce something special. With the new design and development centre built perhaps that’s something being worked on? Fingers crossed.
