2016 MORGAN AERO 8 MKV CONVERTIBLE
Bespoke, bonkers, brilliant! We are excited and delighted to offer this unique, highly specified and head turning Morgan Aero 8 convertible for sale.
One of the most innovative models in Morgan’s history, the Aero 8 made its debut in 2000, gaining a loyal following of enthusiasts enticed by its distinctive styling, personality and performance. The Aero 8 was to evolve over the years and at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2015, Morgan announced that the Morgan Aero 8 would be revived with a Series 5 model.
The Series 5 reintroduced a soft top to the Aero range but still using the same BMW 4. 8L V8 engine (providing 367bhp / 490NM of torque) and manual or automatic gearbox. This was completed by the new design lead Jonathan Wells with the intention of bringing a fresh theme to the model with more modern materials. New interior finishes with a change to the dashboard and infotainment continue to update the experience.
The car retained the front design of the Aero models however the rear design was more akin to the boat tail of the Supersports. The revised rear design permitted it to have a fabric roof that can be stored in the rear parcel slot, giving the car a flat rear deck profile.
The Series 5 also had a completely new front and rear suspension, with anti-roll bars and outboard conventional wishbones and coil over units. Additional structural elements replacing the inboard suspension units gave added chassis stiffness.
We understand that just 160 Mark V Aero 8’s were produced, between 2016-2018.
It is a 6-speed ZF manual gearbox example we now offer. Finished in the stunning Aero Racing exclusive Satin Speed Silver over Yarwood Black Leather, complimented by a Black mohair convertible hood.
Exterior optional extras specified on this example include; Morgan MK V Aero 8 AERO RACING Performance pack, 19” Plus Six Alloy Wheel upgrade in Black Chrome, Exclusive AR Motorsport paint (only available on AR cars or with purchase of Aero performance packs), Bespoke Black Chrome wing and splitter cooling vent mesh, Matt Paint protection Film, side exit Sports exhausts, Red Callipers, Gloss Black Chrome Diffuser, AR Motorsport detailing pack, headrest embroidery and AR bonnet badges

Having covered under 18, 000 miles from new and benefitting from Morgan main agent servicing since new, with the last service carried out by Morgan in February 2024, just 200 miles ago, this car is in superb condition throughout.
For sheer character and charm, few cars can match the Morgan Aero 8. Truly hand built, in tiny volumes and with a traditional look, yet the Aero 8 is a thoroughly modern sports car. Tempted? You should be!
