RE: Morgan Aero 8
Discussion
Well, My dream was shattered this weekend. My dad used to race Morgans, so I jumped at the chance of owning the New Morgan Aero 8. Deposit down 1.5 years ago, merrily biding my time in a Lotus Elise S2. I am a big guy - 6ft1 and overweight, but the Elise fits me like a glove. The Morgan is very cramped - but hell, I could have lived with that. But the pedal layout - designed for Russian Balletdancers only (Ok, I have size 12s, but the Elise is fine...)! So I have to cancel my order as the cabin / footwell is just too damned cramped. So how good are TVRs for bigger people
With the length of time you waited, it might have been worth taking delivery and instantly selling it for profit. Many people are willing to pay a handsome premium to "jump the queue".
Or are you contractually forbidden to do this? (I know this is sometimes the case on cars with long waiting lists in order to deter speculators).

Ok, so they use the veedub lights to save money, but why position them cross eyed? Those lights look fine when mounted normally on the beetle, but look utter shit at that angle! Sort it out. Just move the sodding lights you blind muppets!
Perhaps Zertec can sort out something with the lights?
The Aero8 looks like a poorly thought out kit car, but has a good engine and apparently handles well. But it's styling is retrospective, and a real demonstration of designer afterthoughts. I'm sure it will have real road presence, but it is simply too ugly. Not too well built either, I'm told. Thankyou!
Being ugly and poorly built hasn't affected Morgan in the past (nor TVR ?), judging by their order books it hasn't now..it's all about knowing your potential market.
I can't think of any other company that has lasted as long as Morgan without serial ownership changes. Can anybody else?
