The Plus
The Morgan Aero 8 marked a genuine revolution for Morgan.
Charles Morgan called it "the result of the greatest development project ever undertaken by the Morgan Motor Company".
Combining preformed and bonded aluminium with a variety of hand-finished bespoke components, the Aero 8 marked a turning point for the Malvern-based company. It used BMW powertrains, as it still does today; in this case, a 4.4-litre V8 coupled to a six-speed manual gearbox.
This 2004 example, presented in Aston Martin's Mendip Blue colour with a beige interior, is a late version of the 1 Series with just 25,000 kilometres on the clock. The seller, the second owner, has taken great care to maintain the car in perfect condition, with regular maintenance of the leather and the application of a protective PPF film to the bodywork.
This Morgan is accompanied by a well-stamped service book, a photographic record of its construction and a certificate of conformity, providing a complete history of its existence. With servicing and MOT scheduled for sale, this Aero 8 will be ready to be fully enjoyed by its next owner.
