We went on a Morgan factory tour and experience drive - and while we were there, we found this! The Morgan Aero 8 GT! This is a Morgan car that had a limited production of only 8 cars . This is our favourite Morgan of all time!
On the factory tour, we saw how Morgans are made using 100 year old coachwork combined with modern engineering. Morgan really are a unique car maker! We also drive the BMW powered Morgan Plus Four.
Morgan boast a number of famous owners of their cars, including Shmee150 who once owned a Morgan 3 wheeler and Richard Hammond who once owned The Morgan Aero Max. We see examples of these models while touring the Morgan factory and showroom.
Special thanks to @morganmotorcompany for the arrangements they made to allow us to film this video.
CORRECTION: The Sport Plus button sharpens throttle response on all Plus Fours and opens the valves if you have specified the optional sports exhaust.
This group tour was kindly organised by @JayEmmOnCars but these experiences are open to anyone...

Wonder how we get 5 different in-car camera angles from ONE in-car camera? Here's how: czcams.com/video/hlMhrLT6q20/video.html
And here's the camera producing the exterior shot facing the windscreen: The TINY Insta360 Go 2: www.insta360.com/sal/go_2?insrc=INR8Q2C
This looks like so much fun! The factory tour will be an absolute must on my next visit to England. Excellent work guys, I could feel the excitement!
It was a fun day! A very English experience and the roads and landscape in the area are pretty awesome... Much narrower than in the US but that's what makes them that much more of a thrill. Thanks for watching Elliott 🤙
That black Aero is one of the most beautiful automobiles ever created
We totally agree!!
It was a pleasure meeting you guys and Jayem at the event! The Plus Four you drove is my favorite of the current range as it has a manual gearbox. I can wholeheartedly agree the tour was awesome and a must for fellow petrolheads.👍🏾
Thanks Henry!! We didn't want to give too much away about the tour, but hope it was enough for people to see it's worth going on. Great to meet you too!
As always, great video guys! I'm actually a huge secret Morgan fan. My old boss had an Aero 8 (previously belonged to Rowan Atkinson - or so he led me to believe). I really must head down to the factory and grab some content like this - looks like you both had a total blast - I just love how genuine your excitement and curiosity for the cars is - it really sucks me into the video and makes me want to learn from you both!
Ahhh mate! Thanks! We really appreciate that! I think you'll enjoy it. Great roads to also take your new toy for a drive around too!
What a beautiful car! Thank you for sharing!
I love your editing skills! ❤️
Thank you! Appreciate it. I do work hard on the editing side... Still so much to learn 🙏🏽
Iconic Morgan Cars 🤩 - nothing can beat tradition 🍸
They are lovely!
I had a great day, looks like everyone else did too! Glad you got to see lovely old Malvern too ✌🏻
We're glad you had a good day too. Thanks for watching 🤙
Great video guys… loved it!
Thanks so much! We're really glad you enjoyed it!
You're certainly getting access to places that even Heineken can't reach 😁😁😁
Nice one guys 👊👍
Ha ha! Thanks! Morgan's PR manager was very generous despite us being a small channel. We did have to pitch ourselves in advance and show the kind of content we create. We were so grateful for all they did.
This would not look out of place at a hot rod meet...very sinister-looking, and all the better for it. Like you say, great spec. 🤤
Yeah, true, it's got that feel... Hadn't really looked at it in that way. Nice observation!
“…this cool M2 Competition “
Not wishing to stereotype Beemer owners - but that parking! 🤪🤡
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Beauty of the BEAST 😍
Great comment! ♥️
That white +3 experimental pictured would be compliant with turn signal lamps integrated into the turn signal stalks.
This video was a while ago... I'll have to rewatch it to see what you mean.
Thanks guys. That was cool 👍
Thank you! And thanks for watching 🤙
I'm old and getting older faster by the day and the one thing I wish to see in person is a Morgan since I was about six or seven years old, I've always wanted to see one in real life, I don't know if that will happen, but they are the most beautiful car that has ever been made.
If you can ever get over to Malvern for the factory tour, I'd highly recommend it.
I saw a morgan aero 8 parked by the side of the road,and I was blown away how good it looked in the flesh
They are beautiful.
What a day to remember you guys had. I do like the Morgan, classic styling with a modern twist. I couldn't imagine driving one with flappy padels though. For the sort of car they look and are they need to be a manual. Another awesome video lads, the vlog style and the editing is spot on. Very entertaining.
Thanks Eddie! Really appreciate that! Just need CZcams to find more people who feel the same and the channel will be onto a winner 😁
@@sportzntouring Absolutely, youtube is a strange old girl with its algorithm.
It really is! Trying to make sense of thumbnails right now. Trying a bunch of different things but feels like I'm throwing mud at a wall to see what sticks 🙄
Get rich bucket list - tour Morgan's factory while ordering my custom Morgan Aero 8 GT. How about a ghost effect Union Jack on the trunk in grey under black paint?
Nice!!
Although, I don't think they make these anymore.
@@sportzntouring I know. The Morgan Aero is warming the globe apparently.
Sad times 😢
That silver Morgan in the background at 3:25!
That was a Plus Six. Wider and more powerful than the Plus Four... When the channel is bigger, I'm sure we'll be allowed to drive one 😁
this cars are beautiful. I wish I can afford one
Work hard, be entrepreneurial, be patient... Anything is possible. There's a book called "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" which says, think not "I cannot afford one", instead think "how could I afford one"... Then take one small step every day towards that goal. Thanks for watching!
The AeroMax you show at 7:23 was the factory demonstrator and used by Charles for much of the PR. The Aero models first came out in 1999 with Modern Beetle headlamps fitted on "wrong" sides leading to the Clarence cross eye issues. From the S3-4 and then the Max onwards they had the intended modern Mini headlamps you see there. Try one with the dual sidepipes and hear the V8 at high revs, you will laugh your heads off.
So interesting!! I'd love to drive one of these!
@@sportzntouring If you are ever in the south of England I have the ex-demo Coupe that was the Geneva 2013 show car. Sidepipess and all.
Oooh good to know!!
Can you message us on Instagram or send an email to info at sportzntouring dot com?
👍
🙏🏽
I had a '52 Morgan. It was the most fun I'd ever had with my clothes on.
Hahaha!! Great cars! So much fun! We hope you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!
who produced the music? or who are the artists?
Glad you like it. It's all from Epidemic Sound under license. I don't remember the specific tracks or artists unfortunately.
Are those backlights straight from Lancia Thesis?
Ooooh maybe! As a low volume manufacturer they do need to raid the parts bins of other manufacturers, as it's way too expensive to type approve parts like this. The headlights are from a mini apparently.
It's an old comment but yes, they are Lancia Thesis tail lights.
Lancia thesis rear led light
Probably... And Mini headlights apparently. This is to keep the costs down. Otherwise this would need to sell for many times the £160k it went for as new. Type approval and tooling on bespoke low volume parts is not cheap 😬
280 grand!?
I guess it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. Seems to have been sold since then so, I guess so.
They are hand built and exceedingly rare. Rolls Royce is hand built.
This was in Australia?
No, in Malvern, UK. I believe that Malvern, Victoria, was named after the original town of Malvern in the UK.
How come to India
I'm not sure what you mean, can you explain? Us, the car?
Ah yes, but are they ULEZ compliant……
Which of the Morgans are you referring to? We showed several. Many will be as they mostly use modern engines.
ULEZ compliant, who cares if you can afford a Morgan you can afford ULEZ 😂
Fell foul of Bristol's equivalent - the CAZ - in the wife's super frugal E250 CDI. 😡 Turns out that I should have visited in MY car, as it's exempt...a 5.5l E63S. Go figure!
Nabi cool ?😀😀😀🙏
Not sure what that means but... thank you 🤙
Come on Morgan! Try and come up with a completely new design and stop trying to make and old classic look hip. You need to start with sacking your design team!
This is what differentiates the brand, this design language. It's loved because of it. To change, they'd have to tread carefully. It's really not down to the design team. It's up to the custodians of the brand and their product strategy. Hope you could still enjoy the video 😁
They are a pastiche of the old Morgans. They get away with it as they can serve a limited market. But a great alloy chassis and BMW drive chains are crying out for a modern body that justifies the cost of these cars. There’s a great chief designer there who surely must be champing at the bit to produce something special. With the new design and development centre built perhaps that’s something being worked on? Fingers crossed.
It would be very cool to see an updated design. Let's hope 🤞
Drivetrains 🙄. 🤣
@@sportzntouring great video though. Makes me homesick....I use to be a tour guide there before the Italians took over. Big changes to the factory but I do like the new visitor centre!

"a sea of Morgans" 😁
