Well guys, as promised pics of the new love of my life. I really have fallen for this car like no other









I have spent 6 hours in the car today and have had a great time. I have never had so much positive feedback: being let out, thumbs up, I even had two rounds of applause when turning off after a spirited drive through some nice country lanes. A very positive 'ownership experience' to date.

Negatives: Needs a door stay, its so annoying that the door ALWAYS swings shut when getting out. Clunking from the front on slow tight lock turns. Will get to the bottom of that though suspect may be the rose jointing as pointed out elsewhere on these pages?

"Dear Mr Morgan,

I really love my Aero.

Thank you

Andy (aged 44 3/4)"

Looks fantastic, I've only seen silver ones in real life, I think I prefer the colour of yours - what is it called?

I can only dream of one of these at the moment, but hopefully oneday...

It looks absolutely fantastic. Great colour, and it looks like it's in mint condition.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do with mine. They are awesome cars that look and drive like little else out there.

Really superb, I do love the Aero. We had a factory tour last year and the majority of the cars in production were Aero's. I recall one that was a chameleon colour and I would have so loved to have it.

Thanks guys (and gal)

Naturally I love it, but I have been so pleasantly surprised by how many people like it and admire it and want to talk about it. A typical Morgan ownership experience I am led to believe.

Once again thanks for your comments.

If you ever see me at an event please dont hesitate to say hi. The passenger seat is more often than not available

Great! Look forward to seeing you there.

Was going to ask what colour yours is so as to identify you but dont suppose there'll be many others.

Though the Richard Grant Demo car was there last time!

Well.. the color is Ferrari Tour De France Blue metallic with Tan interior. It was the Westover Morgan dealers demo car but quickly went into a private collection where it didn't move for the last 3 years. Hence it's only got 2k miles on the clock for a 53 plate.

Look forward to seeing you there.......

saw the car - very nice! Made all those Tivs seem plain

Hope you had a good time. I had a great time, great collection of British motoring. With the red Lagonda being my favourite!

Yeh... same here.. came over to have a look at your motor.. very nice.. they have changed a lot between the versions. We mush have passed like ships in the night at some point. Anyhow.. my fave was the Masaratti 4200 birdcage racer that was almost hiding out the back of the pits by the midfield runway...

Absolutely spectacular original racer with all the parts shining... ali work was real master craftsmanship.

Not saying that the Mogs arn't but this was a 60's racer!!
