New vehicle from Morgan -- would you ride in this?

I spotted this article on a new new Morgan on a technology blog. It looks like a lot of fun when it's sunny, warm and free of random road maniacs. I guess if you have the cash for a toy like this, it's probably not your everyday car.

That is a Harley engine which is pretty cool. The old Moggies had JAP motors - made in England by Joseph A Prestwich whose initials were the name. The JAP motors powered Brough, Brough Superior, Triumph, and HRD motorcycles back when they were V-Twins. Lawrence of Arabia drove motorcycles with JAP motors.

Does that mean a driver sitting at a stop light will have to rev it every seven or eight seconds to keep it running?

They idle pretty well for me. I never rev the throttle at stop lights.
