Daring to update a Morgan is bit like modernising the Mona Lisa with Giorgio Armani glasses and a Gucci watch - the result would be a desecration. And that, sadly, is the Morgan Aero Eight. Attempts to smooth its shape make it look like a part-molten plastic model, while the headlamps give it a unique and unmissable cross-eyed stare. None of which appears to worry buyers, who are queuing for two years to get one, clearly blinded with excitement at the thought of Morgan producing something new, and very, very fast. Or maybe they are just plain blind. It is a brilliant drive by all accounts, and packed with new high-tech features - but could you live with those looks?
