That wood on top of the doors looks a bit odd, doubly so in the shot with the door open. Headlights look a bit jarring also - despite the awkward front end, i'd take an Aeromax coupe over this.
Just noticed that now you mention it. Suspect its there to get round a regulation aspect as it does look a bit odd now you highlight it.KTF said:

Agree with the previous comments on the gearstick and steering wheel, otherwise it looks great.
A friend works for Morgan and they were saying that the order books have dried up somewhat and the days of waiting years for a build slot are long gone.
I’d have one in a heartbeat but before the swapped to the new chassis they were around £30k new, now over £75k for a plus four. I’ve hired a couple and the last one not through choice had the auto box but actually I preferred it.

Pretty but also pretty impractical. I always think Barchettas are pretty cynical pieces of engineering, as by losing the need to develop a roof ( something Morgan are notoriously poor at ) it just saves them a lot of money. It's probably called the Midsummer as that is the only day of the year it will ever be driven, if that much.
Still, puts £10m onto the sales line and suspect both companies could do with that at the mo.

I think, some interior details aside, it looks fantastic. Losing the headrests greatly improves the proportions to my eyes but I’m wondering whether it will look a bit odd again with a driver in it? They are obviously going to be very exposed and a very visible part of the aesthetic. May well be able to duck under a car park barrier though.

Morgan is one of those brands I just don't really get so fair to say, I'm not a fan of this. As others have said though, that totally modern steering wheel that looks like it could have come out of a Suzuki or something is absolutely, totally at odds with everything else...
100% agree with everything you've said. On top of that, as others have pointed out, that BMW gear selector is incongruent with the rest of the car.chrisironside said:
The gear level (and surround) look terrible, and I think the steering wheel could be a bit more sympathetic to the rest of the design, but I like look the overall look... I think.
should've at least been trimmed in the red of the seats... along with the steering column shroud bit...Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
