The Appeal
The Morgan Aero 8 Series 1 represented a bold new direction for the traditional British marque, combining classic Morgan styling cues and handcrafted ethos with a modern BMW V8 powerplant and an advanced aluminium chassis. As the first completely new Morgan design since 1964, the Aero 8 offered supercar performance with distinctive looks that turned heads wherever it went, and has rapidly become the stuff of legend. For over 18 years, it sat at the top of the Malvern enterprise's pecking order.
This particular car is beyond impressive. It's a one-owner Aero 8 that the vendor specified all the way back in July 2001, and has been meticulously maintained throughout its life with regular servicing at the Morgan factory or approved agents. It's accompanied by comprehensive documentation including the original build photo album from Morgan and is only being sold so it may find somebody who's able to enjoy it.image.png2.52 MB
