Morgan looks to the past with more than a sense of nostalgia, it's their source of inspiration. We drive the limited edition Plus 8 Speedster.

Never heard of Morgan until about 15 minutes ago. I'm blown away. There's actually a company still making beautiful cars in the 21st century. I had no idea.

@IanObzi 8 лет назад

With speed cameras everywhere the days of driving fast are over and so we need to recalibrate, we need to forget speed and think about enjoying the experience of driving a car again and a Morgan is the best way to do it. I love them.

@erwinzeeland9390 Год назад

Drove one once. It was a 1980 plus8 that belonged to an uncle. Now, 20 years later I stil remember the feeling, never matched.

Morgan is without doubt my favorite Auto maker. Its hard to beat the beauty with a mix of vintage and modern. One day Ill own one of these beautiful machines, though I would rather take a M3W myself.

Really cool that this one has an aluminum chassis. Morgan really should go in the direction of even more modern technology in retro style. They really should build an entry car in go into "mass"-production. Imagine an entry model with V6 or even V4 turbo people can actually afford.

@Mr.k3n 9 лет назад

Bmw still keep that engine going just for Morgans. I like that.

@craigpennington1251 6 лет назад

I don't like the low profile rubber though. They just do not hold up. I've had a lot and 4-8 days and belts are a popping and the tire is rubbish and it quite expensive too. Yes, put tall rubber on it and you'd have a really top machine there.

On many of your videos the background music comes in so loud and over-powering, spoiling an otherwise excellently produced piece of work.

@mojostevo 9 лет назад

The blue exterior bits looks a bit tacky.

@mojostevo 9 лет назад

It's looks like the nylon tape typically found at franchise autoparts shops; looks like an afterthought on the 8, out of place if you will. It would look more at home on an early 90's Honda Accord automatic with chrome wheels...

@Christophe_L 9 лет назад
