But will Morgan's take on a modern supercar with a timeless design hold up to other exotic cars in the Collection? Join us for this episode of E2E and find out, as the Hauglands showcase their 2005 Morgan Aero 8 - both in the studio and on the beautiful backcountry roads of Oregon.

I’ve been a fan of the Aero 8 since it came out. Thanks for sharing your collection with us car people. We share your enthusiasm. Say Hi to Joel! He’s a buddy from our days in SoCal!

Love that color and the engine sound! Morgans are super special cars

This is one of those cars I wish we had a microphone attached to the side just to capture the exhaust note. It's so much better than the lav and camera mics were able to capture. Thanks as always for watching, Casey!

This video makes me a bit homesick! I drove that road back and forth every day, past the covered bridge. Thanks for a lovely view of home! (And I LOVE this car!)

We're so glad you watched and hope that it didn't make you too homesick. Dexter Lake is gorgeous, and it's such a relatively short drive away from the studio!

Great film - many thanks. I've just purchased an Aero s4 and every drive is an occasion - great owners' club too.

The first Aero 8 I rode in before finding and buying my Series 2 car was a Series 4 car at the NEC motor show in Birmingham, UK several years ago. That experience is a lot of what lead me to buying the car we now have in the collection! Morgan had stopped selling the Aero 8s in the US around 2006, due to changes in airbag regulations and the low sales numbers didn't justify redesigning the car to meet the US-specific new guidelines, so we never saw the Series 4 cars here, to my knowledge.

TRADITION!!! (Heh-heh, had to do it.) Gotta say this is a super neat-looking car. I even like the slightly goofy cross-eyed look of the headlights. It makes the car look...friendly, especially since the false grill at the front looks like a nose.

Could you make a video or short of how the convertible top works? I don't see a great on KZfaq anywhere.

@Everyday2Exotic 9 күн бұрын

I think we could definitely do that! It's a manual top, and the reason why we didn't show it in the video is because it was pretty dirty and would need to be cleaned. Since the Aero8 is only ever driven during nice weather, the top hasn't been used in a while. But that would definitely make a good video for the shorts! Is there anything in particular you would want us to capture?

@1chrisrowe 9 күн бұрын

@@Everyday2Exotic Nothing in particular. Quirky things are always interesting.
