Specifically this one, but with dark wheels.

My current car of choice, and the want is strong. What a fine vehicle it is.

I think I might start saving......

There was a thread recently with a picture of a PH'ers Morgan, a dark red one

It made me want one more than ever before, I doubt I'll ever be able to afford one though frown

Just don't understand this vintage car look desire. Looks horrible to me, even if it is fantastic as a driving tool. It will also always smack of a man in a scarf and goggles with a pipe as long as it looks that way (awaits some country and western line-dancing comments in retaliation wink ).

I'm with you on that.

There's a car you can pass to your son (or daughter).

If only they fitted the lights centrally on the front wing. Beautiful from the rear, but from the front it's all...

It's stunning. And that new one they've got coming looks even better. Eva I think it's called.

Not the way insurance and motive power development and graduated licence proposals are going.

I can see the appeal but boy would it feel agricultural if you've come out of anything remotly sophisticated.

There was hordes of the things at CLM. I just don't get it. Why would you want a wood car from the 40s made 50 years later?

'Modern' ones, I can almost see the appeal.

Although I'm disappointed by the indicator stalks and the radio. Should be aluminium stalks and a more appropriate looking stereo (think touch screen with chrome surround) in my spec of the car.

Want to buy my build slot on the Eva Gt instead - cheaper than the Supersport (hopefully) - I'll only fleece you for a small premium wink

This model is not made from wood. It's got a pretty sophisticated bonded aluminium chassis with aluminium panels over the top.

I really don't think they would; they look classical.. but under the skin they're thourghly modern supercar-baiters.

I'm with Garlick, there was one i'm 99% certain at Dick Lovett's in Swindon about 6 weeks ago. Black with like a saddle coloured leather (really deep tan).

Isn't there someone on PH with a lovely dark red metallic one?

That is a beautiful car. I'm just not old enough to even start considering Morgans... and the new shape ones are far too much.

The mustang is designed to look like a old car really isnt it.
