The Definition of Beauty. This is what the coupe of the Aero 8 should be. Oh now we know what the Aeromax is. This should have been the coupe. It is stunning to look at.

The only thing better than the car itself is that it is a Morgan. What an unlikely source for a beautiful piece of tech.

Just great from every angle.

I look at this and three things come to mind.

1) Wheels
2) Boobs
3) Bicycle helmet

Paul Y. can't think of a better, shorter handle — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 19:21:19 EST

Morgans are always cool, and as someone who endorses Moon discs for fun, I approve. This is a gorgeous car.

It looks stoned. I'd also prefer some old-school steels to moon discs, but otherwise I like it. A rear-view camera would be pleasingly sci-fi and would solve the lack-of-a-rear-window problem.

Proposal for new Gumball run: Iron Ass 3000.

It involves participants driving this for any length of time. Winner receives lifetime supply of hemorrhoid cream. They've got my name.

Somebody in the fab shop screwed up. They put the window in the hood instead of the rear deck.

Schtill Schexy!

Is it just me, or does it look like the roof ... oooops, the 'hood' is meant to be removable 'A' pillars and all? Maybe there's smaller 'A' pillars underneath?

Somehow the idea of a coupe Morgan flies in the face of ... well wind in your face.

@smokeydog001: Where is the ash frame? All I can see under the bonnet is more aluminium.

Comfy is not a word that comes readily to mind.
I do like that Union Jack on the fender, though.

Adopting Raul Julia's comic Italian accent:

"What'sa behind me does not matter..."

I like everything about this Life Car (except perhaps its name.)

It looks terrific, except from the rear. That rear deck looks like they forgot to finish removing the crating it arrives in.

I don't really care for the moon disks - I'd prefer some wire wheels to finish things off but everything is else is good, wacky fun.

Moon disks and runnin' boards, where do I sign? I do hope the frame isn't "steam-bent plywood."

For the retro-gadget freak who wants to experience Salt Lake..

I love the complete lack of a rear window - not sure if it suggests there'll be nothing able to keep up that you might want to see, or that the sort of person who can use a Morgan as a daily driver doesn't care what's behind them. Beautifully engineered though.. what happened to being able to appreciate all of the welds and joints on a car rather than staring at a series of soulless plastic mouldings?

Love the Moon disks, need to take that bad boy out to Bonneville.

Do you think they meant for there not to be a back window? I'll bet they got it there and then went "Oh shit! we forgot to cut out the rear screen. Don't we look like assholes?"

Hmmm, no airbags, hard interior surfaces, skinny tires, no rear visibility...more like DeathCar.

I love it.

Poor cabin visibility. Where do you put the groceries. I don't see tie down points for the kids' car seats.

Yes, I am joking.

I like it, though there's something very movie-prop-ish about it, like it belongs in gotham city. suppose that's not a bad thing.

banging the hell out of my elbow on that center console would seem unavoidable.

And, they forgot to make it cross-eyed

Love the narrow rims. On this car it is just so sweet. It looks like a car for the future from the 40's.
