I'd replace it with a Weissman!

Definitely a Marmite car. Personally I think they look the business .... especially in black.

Saw this car at the dealer in the UK when it was for sale - we were looking at another car, and I spotted it (without knowing it was Hammonds). I was somewhat surprised! biggrin

So is it to be a Morgan or a Weissman ? Both stunning looking cars imho.

Interesting cars to look at, but they lack R&D investment for them to be £100k+ cars. IMHO.

A glorious car. I'm so glad that someone had the audacity to make this...

I saw one of those driving through Windsor. Grown men stopped & pointed. Including me . Can't say that about many cars!

Did they do that at the factory?

Is there one on the other side that says 'CRASHED BY RICHARD HAMMOND'?

I hope they didn't do that, looks like Stevie Wonder did it with his hands tied behind his back.

I wondered if it was a sticker. Perhaps it's a bit of tin plate with double sided adhesive on the back?

Agreed - either the car isn't parked on level ground, the owner weighs 30 stones and has had the ride height altered or the ash rear subframe has warped in the Aussie sunshine ....
Vermuelan probably weighs no more than Hammond, super fit rider.

Think I saw this one at my local dealership if it was a fairly recent purchase. Absolutely stunning...

I love these, but then again, I'm a die-hard Morgan fan. Never seen one (I don't think they were legal for sale in the US), but have seen its slightly less rare cousin, the Aero Super Sports. Very, very special cars!

Not surprised they've already appreciated in price. I also love the interiors of these cars! Overall, they're a big improvement over the early Aero-8s (I got to see some of the first in the country, due to living about 20 minutes from what was the main East coast dealer.)

If we are talking BMW-powered vintage inspired sports cars, I certainly wouldn't bother with a Morgan. You could have a Weissman GT!

The first purchase if/when I win the lottery. My wife strongly disagrees as she states with some insistence that it's one of the ugliest cars she has ever seen!
That's the opposite of my wife, who would (in the unlikely event of a lottery win) kill me if I DIDN'T buy one of these.

The first morning after that windfall and I'd be down at the local Morgan dealer to purchase a little runaround. Despite all of their reputed foibles, a(ny) Morgan would still be my dream car - and the Aeromax most of all. Lovely.
