Two  British sports cars go head to head on a track. One is made of wood, the other is an Aston Martin V8 Vantage. You'll be surprised in the results, unless of course you're familiar with the Morgan Aero Coupe. Built on a very old-fashioned ash wood frame with an aluminum body and boasting BMW power along with a custom-designed interior, the Aero Coupe makes a formidable competitor to theclosely-priced Vantage. Watch them go toe-to-toe on an open track in the video above.
