Morgan Aero 8 (00-10) - Review

Review by Ben Wall on
Last Updated: 24 April 2009
For sheer character and charm, few cars can match the Morgan Aero 8. It may be hand built and with a traditional look, but the Morgan is a thoroughly modern sports car that uses an aluminium chassis while power comes from a BMW V8 engine. This gives it a 0-62mph time of less than five seconds and it feels even faster from behind the wheel. The original model had an unfortunate cross-eyed appearance, but a revised model, introduced in 2006, was a huge improvement. Designed and built in Britain it has a uniqueness few similarly priced cars can match and there are more dealers around than you'd think. However, that doesn't stop it being expensive to buy and run.

Equipment

There's plenty of scope to personalise your Aero 8 but considering the price, the Morgan isn't blessed with a huge amount of standard equipment. Electric windows, air conditioning and cruise control are standard but little else is. Revised models from 2006 get twin airbags and ABS as standard along with xenon lights, stability control and cruise control.
