He said the new 2.0 litre 4 cylinder would be shared with the Toyota Supra which weighs 500kg more than the Morgan. Is this engine supplied by BMW like the 3.0 litre 6 cylinder they supply to Toyota?

Every time I look at the Alpine (I know it weighs very little) it seems to get uglier.

I'm sure the 12 customers will be very happy with the 5,500 year old wooden veneer just hope it doesn't rain where they live (probably Middle East).

I always preferred the Tour De Force technical marvel that was the 450bhp 4WD Porsche 959 over the crude Ferrari F40. Remember how excited I was seeing a silver version at Silverstone many years ago. Thanks for the memory.

Hope it helps the Welsh workforce & economy also.

Wonder if you get a couple of Aston Arai Full Face helmets to cope with the 300kph maximum included in the £765,000 price.

Not so good if playing top trumps with only 1,500bhp and a top speed of only 217mph.
