Awaiting collection-New to the collection

Wanted one of these for a while put couldn't justify an extra car unless I got rid of something.

Plus with only 11 made they don't often come up for sale.

Love it.
Think they are starting to look better and better.

Looking forward to more photos.

I've removed the hard top and hung it up on the garage wall and stuck the soft top on.

[Ryko]

That is fantastic, congratulations!

[W00DY]

That is awesome!


I must own an Aero 8 one day.

[R6VED]

Fair play for achieving a goal, but I really can't understand the appeal.

I genuinely find these quite foul to look at and that front end is by far the worst offender.

I don't mean to cause offence I really don't, but I would rather walk :-) :-)

[Challo]

Very cool. Hopefully its parked up outside next I go past to see it in the flesh.

Did you get rid of anything to make room for it in the garage?

[iacabu]

I do really like these although not sure about the 2-tone.

What model is it exactly with so few built?

[ukshooter]

This is the Aero 8GTN. I have sold the Matt Black and Yellow Series 4 Aero to make way for it. Still have the Lancia, Ferrari & Tesla.

I have the Series 5 on order. Once that is built will look at whether the Ferrari makes way or whether I find additional garage space.


The GTN is unlike any other Aero. I need to have it Dyno'd as I've been told the actual figures put out for it were quite downplayed by the factory. The Alpina built 4.36 litre engine is a revelation as well compared to the standard offerings which were 4.4 litre and now 4.8.

In 2002 Morgan entered Le Mans with a De Walt liveried car which got a lot of positive attention despite having to retire around 17.5 hours in and 181 laps completed. In 2004 Morgan went back and was very successful, completing the 24 hours and winning a lot more fans. This is car 10 of 11 built to meet the requirements of the Le Mans entry which was to have a similar car available to the public (there was going to be 15, don't know why only 11 were built, perhaps an issue with getting the Alpina engines).

Stunning - a car full of character. Congratulations.

So the hard top can't be fitted when the soft top is folded?

Lovely car.

[Podie]

So. Much. Want.

[LaurasOtherHalf]

Love it

Lovely car.

No, you can have either one fitted but not both, whereas my Series 4 was designed so the hard top sat on the folded down soft top

[griffin dai]

Awesome bit of kit

[dbdb]

A peculiar car certainly, but also a magnificent one.

Love the quirky looks... Only 11 made??

.not a clue on Morgans tbh.

But there is a stunning silver coupe one in the showroom at David haytons about 0.5miles from my house that looks sublime'
