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.

This Morgan remains very faithful to its original version and is in remarkable condition for its age, thanks in particular to its extremely low mileage and the care taken by the vendor. The seller informs us that the bodywork and paintwork are free of any notable defects, while the interior benefits from regular leather treatment. Everything is reported to be in good working order, including the electric windows, air conditioning and manual folding roof.

Don't let its vintage looks fool you. These Morgan Aero 8s are resolutely high-performance cars. 1-Series cars like this are powered by BMW's M62 V8, mated to a six-speed Getrag manual gearbox. We're assured that this Morgan's maintenance is up to date and that it offers an exceptional drive.
