I called in to see Julian to sort out some paperwork on my SS and as usual had a walk round the workshop. Sorry to see your p&j there Frank, still undergoing some repairs it seems. I hope you get it back again very soon. cheers flag

The main interest in the workshop was SGT's new the Teal Roadster Sport - looks very smart I must say. Whilst I do like the new round reflectors, I am not sure about the Sabrina'd reversing and fog light - however, I know such things a very much a matter of personal taste. speakno

Anyway, the main interest was in the showroom where there is an AeroMax for sale with a very nice spec for £110k - yes, that's right £110k! Check the SGT Website as this is the cheapest I have seen an AeroMax for some time. I'm sure at this price it should not hang around long, particularly as it is so well specced?!?

Few.... For a second there I thought you might be talking about your own

I agree this should move quicky... I like the colour.

I seem to recall this was up for sale at rtcc for a while.... Or one in exactly the same colour?

Not at that price Cereal! shocked2

I don't know if it is the same one that RTCC had, very similar spec though. I understand owner wants to buy a Cooper Monaco so the Max reluctantly has to go...

P.S. Where's mr_tony as this looks right up his street?

I am lurking! tempted, but timing is bad as in process of house move frown I really love the way they drive having had the pleasure of driving one at goodwood this year. There is however the small matter of upgrading Liz to a new car this year so I guess the Aeromax will have to remain a dream for now...

Still, the good news is I have cleared an Eva Gt pending we are both happy having seen it for real...

think it's RTCC,
as it is no longer listed over there (and normaly they do keep'm "SoLD" on the site)

couldn't sell at that price neither
(picked mine up from my detailer, stunning once more)
(liked the SLR he had there too, far less was I impressed by the view out of the FORD GT he had in too, my left I could only look at the windscreen-pillar) (JC will never admit but you can't see where you're going when entering a curve)

Yes, Only discovered by investigating a fuse blowing problem.

Fortunately it appears to be only internal bodywork damage caused when the Gearbox Mounting split away and the whole gear mechanism lifted up. We have been driving around and to Buxton and back not realising anything was wrong. stars

That is an absolute steal and the owner must be desperate to buy that Cooper if he is willing to put it up for over £20,000 less than the other RHD that is currently on the market (and for considerably less than the last one SGT themselves sold).

The colour is an acquired taste but no less so than the last one Julian sold. I know he is known for prices aggressively but this does seem far too reasonable.

I considered buying this Aeromax when it was at RTCC and decided not to purely on the basis of interior colour which as Simon says is an accquired taste.

It seems that only the chaps from Maranello can master the tan leather interior!

I agree Robert, tan is difficult for UK producers and almost impossible for German ones. However, it would still be a cheap car with a complete interior re-trim to your choice. evil

That's exactly what Laura was waiting to hear! rofl rofl rofl

However in all seriousness it's probaly not for me at the moment.

Coincidentally we had an early Bentley GT Coupe in a very similar combination - Jack Barclay were delighted to sell it new but complained bitterly about colour when trying to sell it back!

Speak soon.

perhaps its just a combination of factors... colour, other cars available under 130 and the supersports new at 130 as well as the end of summer in sight. I'm sure Julian will not be pricing it a penny lower han he needs. to sell the car.

besides, like most collectable cars the spyder will in the long run command a premium over the coupe .. wink

Given the weather they have in Moscow this summer (38 degrees through most of the last 2 months) I'm sure a convertible would be fabulous. Apart from the air quality..

In the winter a range rover is the only sensible option though. Or a tank.

Of course though I was joking - clearly the 'max will be a collectable car for the long term smile This one just seems to be suffering from a range of issues subduing it's price a little.

Pretty sure I know who owns (owned?) that car and if I'm right would be well cared for.

exterior Looks good in the flesh also and whilst I did look at interior I can't remember too much?

Amusing, I flew back from Moscow yesterday (holiday - I haven't somehow found myself a murky new line of business... unfortunately!) and it was absolutely boiling.

As an aside, I also went to Siberia and the Urals and outside of Moscow there is little point in owning anything but a 4x4 (if you can afford it). A new UAZ starts at about £10k and they're cooler than a Defender - expensive options though, apparently...

That is the car on SOR at SGT? If I am correct that is Richard Hammonds car and has had a colourful history. It has always been priced low and I believe deservedly so. I have not seen another advertised under the initial purchase price. A friend is looking to purchase a fine example and he hasn't been successful thus far.

Lucky bugger!!!

I am also aware of someone looking for an Aeromax (RHD) and I have actively spoken with him about the market - so am relatively knowledgeable about the cars up for sale at the moment.

Personally, I would say that the RH car is an anomaly. Setting aside the economic climate and time of year, I would also suggest that the owners vocal (he wrote about his accident in the Aeromax in Top Gear) and his financial position have influenced the asking price. Reference the prang, my understanding is that the car has been repaired and the front resprayed and that there is no reason to hold this against the car; however, public perception seems to have influenced the potential customers willingness to purchase it. The other factor with the RH car is that the interior leather and trim aren't going to appeal to a wide audience. A re trim is £5,000 and therefore, I believe this is being taken into account with the asking price. As it stands, if anyone is interested in an Aeromax and cannot pay the price of the other cars (all above original MSRP), surely this car has to be a good buy?

Now to counter that - I also believe that someone willing to spend £100,000 is willing to spend more for the right colour and option combination.

The chap I am aware of is looking at the Aeromax as a 'keeper' and therefore wants to buy the best example he can (colour combination and options) and is willing to pay the price and wait for the right car.

As it stands, there are currently 4 RHD cars on the market: -

The SGT - Richard Hammond - Reg-58 Aeromax - £105,995.00
http://www.sgt.co.uk/used_detail.asp?id=35085&type=Morgan&model=Aeromax

The one at RPM Morgan - Aeromax 49 - 7,500 miles - £118,500.00
http://www.rpm-morgan.co.uk/product.php?view=detail&item=30

Dick Lovett Prestige - Reg-59 Aeromax 10 - 3,600 miles - £119,990.00
http://www.dicklovett.co.uk/Dealers/Spec...9-16195541.html

And lastly, a private sale - March 2010 Reg - 5080-miles - £140,000.00

The 3 cars at dealers are all varying shades of dark gunmetal grey (two with red/berry leather) and the RH car with dark brown distressed leather. The private sale is a dark blue, almost black exterior with red leather.

Are we/you not all missing one vital piece of information? Hammonds car is manual. Whilst I generally prefer a manual to an auto on a fun car, a Max would have to be Auto for me.

A very good point Andy, it's not as though most AeroMax owners are going to be tracking their cars with any degree of commitment and the auto suits the Max's GT status imho. woohoo

A very fair point Andy.

I was attempting to remain impartial but I would agree with your sentiment that the sport-auto suits the character of the Aeromax perfectly.

Rather have a manual box. But, I don't have that kind of money to spend (not on a car that won't fit in the garage anyway oops )...

Well One man's "abomination" is another man's "well It's not too bad"

Ticks many of my boxes:- auto, low-mileage, attractive and non-controversial colour, still has some warranty left. I could live with the interior.

(Couldn't live with the damage it would do to our savings or the damage my wife would do to me though).

Nothing wrong with saddle brown interior with the right paintwork, but Silver cars look better (IMO) with darkish interiors.

They need to get their camera calibrated or learn how to use photoshop if that is saddle brown. I have never seen a saddle with that orange tone before ?

That is because it is my understanding that it isn't Saddle but a leather with more of an orange tone. It certainly isn't the standard Saddle that is in the Sport range akaik.

Again, £5,000 for a retrim if the interior isn't to your liking. wink

Speaking to one of the Dealers today who has sold a few AeroMax's, he opined that the current relatively low prices were temporary and that the prices would harden considerably next Spring, as both the weather and the economy improve. thumbs

Seems like anyone in the market for an AeroMax should consider buying one of the current crop for sale, providing of course you agree with his view of the market? confused2

I see both sides.

Asking a Soap salesman what is the most important thing in life and he will say a clean complexion, obtained through the use of SOAP. Given he is paid monthly on commission he would also say SOAP today and not tomorrow.

Then again having last tried to sell my S2 in winter I got no interest and yet every S1-3 up for sale this summer went for a higher price.

Life is a wonderful thing. If only we could invent the HHGTTG Babelfish for sales-human translation or fit a bull***t filter prior to each engagement. I would love to see badges with eBay style ratings on the salespeople when you walk into a store.

and called the next day: gotthahaveit

rumours say the car was initially build for M.Humphries father

Saw Hammonds car at Mole Valley last week when collecting my plus4. Priced at under 100k and with 3500 miles. Has a celebrity plaque under the bonnet. The dark brown leather didn't look too bad but the light colour wood trim was not to my taste........each to their own!

In my opinion he did himself no favours writing about his accidents in the car in Top Gear. Perhaps being owned by a pseudo celeb would hold a value to some, however not to I. Even less so when he has documented in a publication about his careless driving and the damage caused.

It's rumoured that he bought a Lamborghini Murciélago and part-exchanged the AeroMax. Seems that BHM have a continental buyer interested in the car, that must be the best option Trevor as they will probably not know the full history. flag innocent

Trevor - agree wholeheartedly. Whenever I'm scouting for a used car, the seller is always very keen to let me take a test drive, but I always say, 'No - you drive'
That way you can soon tell what sort of abuse has been meted out.

I noted that Mick Jagger's old yellow 1968 Plus 4 was up for grabs recently. That bloke is amazing IMO, but it doesn't make his car worth any more to me.

that's whats stopping me, the car isn't for sale,
the broker has a client looking for an Aeromax,

first see what the guy wants to pay,
if the offer is "too good"
then I'll only have the.......pedal-car
won't get to St-Tropez then (unless as a passenger)

Due to tax/insurance-fees 1 better car is the better option
But I've got the complete pricelist and I find it a bit immoral to spend so much on.....a car
So I started looking for real estate, but that seems to have gone crazy,
Only opposit to the US-A: higher and higher
i'll stick to my mountainbike for a while, they cost a grand a year to keep them maintained AND updated
