Well Just got back from Reading with The Green Dragon, what a day.

Good News the car is excellent, can't wait to get out in it tomorrow.

Bad news what a B of a day.

First put wrong address in my sat/nav so ended up in Reading centre and not at R/T then got there and some glitch on the banks switch system meant I had to talk to someone in an Indian call centre before I could pay for the car, wasted an hour.

Then get in car not knowing which way is home and fuel tank is empty so just make it to petrol station.

Then finally heading home and get stuck in a 3 mile stationary traffic jam on the Cirencester/Cheltenham road for an hour.

Get home too tired to try car, so sit down to read handbook / service book, book is for a left hook car with no service info.

There is more but too tired so off to bed to dream about Green Dragons.

Ha the joy of real motoring!!!!!!!!

Bloody hell, what a looker! Well done.

Any chance of some detail pics and seeing that paint job up close as it were.

What's the noise like?

When we had the factory tour last year there was an Aero 8 being built in that colour and it was truly awsome.

I hate you

What is it you do by the way? I want a Roadster sometime in my life but my job just doesn't pay...

I think my Aero 8 Series 11 is this only one in this colour which Brian ordered last year.

It is a fantastic looker and I am now trying to tweak it that bit more.

I will post some more pics when I figure out how.

That is gorgeous thumbup

I'm showing my ignorance here but is that a Morgan colour or someone else's?

Oh and Aeroman, it was worth a try. Are they as good as I imagine them to be?

It's an ICI Autocolour - Reflex Green - and they can't do it any more as Morgan have changed their paint suppliers, see the link below:

Funky has a Series III in the works now being delivered in the same colour, but that's it I'm afraid.

Aero's are great drives, why don't you sign up to the Morgan Experience www.morgandrivingexperience.com/ as once you've tried you'll definitely replace the Roadster in your Fantasy Garage with an Aero 8.

Michael, those really do look gorgeous but I don't know which I like better S2 or S3... scratchchin
The differences become less obvious when you put them together, oddly.

Aeroman, I'm looking at doing that now, thanks thumbup though I doubt a Roadster would be wiped from my fantasy garage, perhaps just ans Aero added
