Looks like something from Dick Tracy.

I read that Morgan were redesigning the front end to try and move away from the cross-eyed look. Looks like they got a bit tanked up on Red Bull and Silit Bang and had a stab at the rest of the car too. Will it reappear at LM though? John, if you squint a bit and turn your heard sideways, you can almost picture Cruella DeVil at the wheel.  |

Not sure what Silit Bang is but after four or five Jagerbombs (Red Bull & Jagermeister) that might start to look tolerable...on second thought, maybe not. That thing is pretty f*@#ing stupid looking.

We've all heard of "Retro Cool", but that thing has gone a full 70+ years backwards to the old boat tails.
I can't see the chimney for the boiler, but I'm sure it's there somewhere, and the chain drive to the back wheels is pretty well disguised too !
Nice work Morgan !!

Bob,
Hi there. Skiing was fantastic. They had 2 weeks of snow prior to our arrival and when we got there, didn't see a cloud all week.
The body is fully intact, but the wallet has ended up in intesive care.
Did the transfer of the genny go smoothly ?
After you mentioned the N138 t shirt, I had a look on the web site and bought a couple - nice shirts. My wife thinks I am completely anal now - even wearing Le Mans clothes.
Hope all is well.

Transfer of genny was smooth, met A Zarse esq, seemed like a nice bloke, but first immpressions and all that.(only joking Andy). Glad you had plenty of snow we are of to Whistler next week but the snow conditions look shite should have booked Kent. Maybe we can get together for a few beers when I get back

Bob,
One of the guys that came to St Anton was in Whistler the week previous and he said it is indeed decidedly sketchy. No snow in the town, quite a bit of rain too.
Make the best of it that you can.

My wife was on a jolly in Whistler at the end of January. Apparently it rained and the skiing was shite.
Sorry, to spoil your day.

Dragging this back onto the topic, I think it's a distinct improvement on the Aero 8 - even quite sinister looking, which I don't mind (in a moody, batmobile kind of way)
Trouble is that it doesn't really fit the Malvern tweeds and flat cap image. Maybe, as others have already comented, it's too retro (massive boat-tail and swooping Bentley Conti style front wings).
I'd be stunned if they ever put it into production - but I think it's more interesting than anything else they've ever fashioned.

My wife was on a jolly in Whistler Blimey, I don't like the sound of a Whistling Jolly. It brings back thoughts of the Jacko trial. I don't think I'd be happy if my wife had one. |

I have to say that I agree with Matt on this one. I think it looks great. At least it makes you have an opinion!
Fair play to Morgan if they go ahead and make it..... As long as they dont put those bl**dy awful headlights back on it!

Man guys,
I'm not sure what to think. Its different but looks like something that should have little orange flags on the fenders with a group of black shirted SS officers climbing out of.

That's what i like about it Fax. Not that I'm a neo-nazi or anything - but it does look kinda intimidating and malevolent - very un-Morgan in my view - which is why it'll never make it into production.
