    My father was a well known Morgan restorer in the 80's-90's. He worked with Charles quite a bit. Jay called dad to chat Mogs shortly before he passed of brain cancer in 2005. Made him so happy! I'll always like/respect Jay for that.

    God, I love Morgan! When I visited the UK in 2017, I had the privilege of driving the Aero Max, and it just felt perfect. Also, the styling, my God the styling! The styling is post-modern design at its best! They took the old fashioned long front end, passenger compartment at the rear, round headlights, side opening hood, etc., and gave it a wonderful modernization. Most cars from the 30s, and 40s had a really high stance, but as Jay points out, the Aeros sit fairly low to the ground. They just look fantastic, they are extremely well put together, they're fast, but they aren't race cars, they have all the essential creature comforts, they run great. I cannot say enough good things about these cars. Morgan really hit a homerun with the Aero, and oh how I long to own one. Someday I will have one of these in my garage, and I cannot wait. They're expensive, but they are worth every penny, and I have a feeling that as long as you practice good maintainence, and preventative care, these cars will last for decades.

    • @motanelustelistu

      That's exactly the problem.The long nose looks ridiculous with the weight balance totally off.I bet it's around 80-85% to 20-15% front and back respectively.Most certainly it understeers like crazy.Not that you go fast enough understeering to endanger you,but still,it's very annoying a light but understeering car.
      All cars i think should do the raft test (like top gear did while driving through africa) .After you put the car in the middle of it , it doesn't stay straight to horizontal,weight distribution is no good.
      Beside,it looks COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS with that long nose and short tail,like a good cartoon caracter with big head and small body.
      What's "amazing" about the stiling ? It's just the clasic old headlights (but with UNclassic interior of them) sloped back but NOT enough to be beautifull.
      911 did them good,this didn't.
      Also,you're TOO DAMN LOW.I'm small (1,92m) and my head would stick out like crazy and wouldn't fit in it.
      Also it would be too cramped and steering wheel would hit my knees.Well,it would be BETWEEN MY KNEES.
      Beside,whenever i get in a car,i push the seat back.Here,I CAN'T because it's one of that STUPID "cars" with the wall behind the seat.
      Beside,as my great grandfather use to say,"I like to put myself/get UP in car , not lowered myself" .
      That's why i LOVE the 1920's cars and beggining of the 1930's where you would sit about the hight of a pick-up "truck" NOT this ... THING wich ISN'T a car,wich is too short,too low and did i mentioned the RIDICULOUS,UGLY AND UNCOVERING of the low and/or curved down door of the taditional british "sport" cars ?
      Beside,i can't imagine why the brith would build "sport" cars are they country is old and twisty,just like the citi streets with only about 2-5 days of shunshine a year :) .
      British sport cars are like ANY sport cars.USELESS.

    Driving an English sports car on cool days or nights with the top off; just a tonneau cover on, with the driver's side, unzipped and stashed behind the seat; with the heater on max, wheezing away like almost warm breath, are some of the most enjoyable moments in a lifetime. MGA or B or all the T's; Sunbeam Tiger, Triumph TR Whatever or Jaguar XK's. I've loved them all. Now for a Morgon.

      I used to own an Austin Healey 3000 Mk I that I sometimes traded for a day for a friend's Triumph TR4 and occasionally I got to drive a Morgan +4. Great cars for PA roads but sadly I now live in Phoenix with its long straight roads and daily temps now around 110°. I will say that if you're thinking about old British sports cars with their Smiths Gauges and Lucas electrics you better enjoy working on your car. They are fun to drive, you really feel the road, they have a timeless look and they sound great.

      Some people have no soul either. No one reminisces about things reliable, do they? The best summer day I had was driving my Triumph Spitfire from Winnemucca NV. to Reno with my blonde high school girlfriend when the entire front hood lifted off and I saw it sliding upside down in an ocean of sparks behind me. With just some wire snips and a length of road side barbed wire fence had me on my way. There were hundred of trips I made in more reliable cars where nothing at all happened. I don't remember even one of those days. Nostalgic nonsense trumps everyday nothingness always. Take your yuppie BMW Z4M and wave at the other Z4Ms that you see all day long. When you are old you can smile at all the trouble it saved you. Not to mention they are expensive for a reason. Right, Undercover Genius?

    • @Kawiturbo750
      @Kawiturbo750 7 років тому +6

      Ah yes, I had those great road trips too but the fact I’m a mechanic helped because I could fix whatever went wrong, e.g. duct taping an empty bottle filled with gasoline, to the roof of the car as a gravity feed fuel source after the electric pump died. I’m 70 now and I’m done with unreliable cars so I get my road jollies on a Yamaha FJR1300 with a radar detector. In the 1960s I didn't have any male friends who were not car guys. Sadly, I don’t know many kids today really interested in driving, much less being car enthusiasts. They’re going to miss out on all the fun I had driving 3 cyl. Saabs, VW Bugs, Hillmans, a Morgan where most of the frame wood was gone, a Fiat 600, Corvairs, etc.

    • @davidsoom6383

      I owned a factory turbo charged 180 H.P. Corvair. I lived next to Lake Tahoe Nevada and at that altitude when all the other normally aspirated cars were losing up to 35% of their horsepower, my Corvair stayed at 180 h.p. That put me in the range of wasting 289 Mustangs and 273 Barracudas all day long. Enjoyable times. The hapless Mustang and Camero owners didn't catch on to what was happening. My "fast" "stock" Corvair. Corned well too, because it was a 1965 model and the previous suspension problems were solved.

      It was a good save, because Morgan may not have meant anything by it, but essentially implied that homeless people would typically be too uncultured and stupid compared to an average person to recognize the make. Lenos save diverted that uncomfortable situation of a guy born with a golden spoon in his mouth and inheriting everything he is to just mocking the high price of homes for why even middle-class might be homeless. ;)

    I have great admiration and respect for Mr. Matthew Humphries, Lead Designer at Morgan, designer of the Aeromax and Mr. Jon Wells, Senior Designer at Morgan. Bravo to you Mr. Charles Morgan for having the wisdom and foresight for hiring the young 20 year old, Matthew Humphries in 2004.
