It's obvious that the cars do not compete, or intend to do so. Therefore, the GT3 comparison is meaningless and irrelevant. In other words, it would have been better left out..
PH is a tough crowd.
Not necessarily, would a Radical "dust it"? Or is it only the GT3? Interesting debate... What is meant by dusted? Didn't Robert Johnson dust his broom?It's obvious that the cars do not compete, or intend to do so. Therefore, the GT3 comparison is meaningless and irrelevant. In other words, it would have been better left out..

Come on Morgan, you did the three wheeler in camoflage for the show, with a flat screen, fattened arches & a V8, this badly needs flames & you know it.
Nooooo....It needs to be Old English White with red dead cow inside and more chrome than google can dream of. I agree about thin spoke "wire style" wheels, colour coded for preference...
Hastily enters Euro Lotto. Want want want...
Grew up strapped into the back seat of a 4/4, have driven said 4/4 off and on for 10 years. Not really a huge fan of that particular model, albeit in a respectful sort of way. Really REALLY want one of these though.
As said before, needs a spare or luggage rack or something on the back. When did they stop doing sidelights on the front wings? It looks like something is missing to me.

Seriously don't understand all the anti BMW V8 comments, the plus 8 has had a Rover V8 in it for years which was a 1950's American Buick engine before Buick upgraded and flogged it to anyone in Britain who would buy it (MG , Morgan , Land Rover, British Leyland, TVR, Marcos etc etc...), nothing wrong with the RV8 either, but it ain't British. Personally I think an LS7 in one would be a hoot 500 horse and the exhaust note is just a cam choice for the designer. let's not knock them, theyre British, they have a waiting list, it's a success story!!!!

is chris harris going to post on here with some feedback ...or do we need to wait for the reports in the magazine ?
We haven't had a magazine since the best bits of 2009! He'll update us on the home page very soon. I imagine he is currently answering all of his fan mail and asking people to kindly move away from his front door

I've had a go in MMC11 already, not this one though, but, when it was on the new injection Plus 8, back in 1986 ish. I'd love to try this one, just wish I could afford it.
I bought MMC11 in 2005 when it was on the Geneva show Aero 8 they took it back as it was on retention

Fantastic. One of those cars that if you question the price of, or compare like for like with a Porsche or whatever, then you've missed the point.
Massive exclusivity.It is one of the few sports cars I have never seen on public roads. That and a Veyron I think. For similar money, nothing offers the individuality and exclusivity.
It really would make a magical weekend toy.
