Aero 8s at Silverstone
Discussion
Quite a few out, presume it was some of you lot - looked absolutely smashing. My friends who I was with don't 'get' them, but even with loads of Fezzas swarming about I still went back to the Aero 8s (and the Astons) - make me tingle in a different way. Some of the interior combos especially were terrific, I don't think there's a better... cockpit in production. Thumbs up! Bet they're a right laugh on a wet roundabout too!
I was one of them and I'm glad to see that at least you can see the sense in them.
Watching as they were racing the ferrari's, porkers, lambos and other GT3 cars they do look so wrong, but are so right.
But then 4th place, from a company with a factory thats smaller than the design teams of all of the other manufactures what can I say.
To quote one of the TV commentators designed in the 1930's and made of wood.
Oh how wrong can you be!

One of the most advanced chassis going, more like... I was cheering the Morgans on in the racing, shouted "NOOOOO" loudly when the one went into the wall because of the bloody Ascari! It is an absolutely stunning result given Morgan's resources. And yes, I do see the 'point' in them - what's not to like!? Very light, V8, sounds like a Spitfire, looks brilliant, no two are ever the same and has an amazing interior - oh, and it's handbuilt. Can't go wrong. There's nothing that really touches it for me, for what it does and what it is.
