Morgan Sports Car Club

March 2000 saw the surprise unveil of the all new Aero 8 at the Geneva show. One of the most radical cars on display, it literally stole the show with journalists fighting for press packs at the end of the unveil. Morgan was on the front page of everywhere. Successes in the US market with the +8, and numerous developments for type approval kept the tiny but dedicated technical staff at morgan hugely busy. Frontal impact tests, then the more strict 40% offset frontal, side impact, rear impact for the US not to mention Federal emission standards, Euro 3, then Euro 4 which all contrived to keep the firm at full tilt just to comply.
