An antidote for anyone who despairs at the loss of innocence. How sweet it is to think that there's a shed in the Malvern hills in which a dedicated bunch of artisans is hard at work hand-building sports cars with wooden chassis. What's more, with the Aero 8 and forthcoming hybrid LifeCar, it looks like they're here to stay.

Aero 8
£68,000 - £70,697
A ‘modern’ Morgan, it does at least resemble something built quite recently, albeit in a retro style. They tease us with some aluminium, but the rest of the chassis is wood.
-
Plus 4
£30,374 - £33,446
The car that it's always been about, really. Up there in the top ten of reassuring old English clichés, it's a gloriously impractical, modestly performing jalopy. Lovely.
-
Roadster
£37,424 - £40,496
The one with the 3.0-litre V6 Jag engine. In full flight it feels rather like being in the front car of an Alton Towers ride – an escapist headrush to trounce any video game.
