Can't imagine those headrest addons would stay on the car long.... They look good till they're stolen though. You are absolutely right Nick, I've got them on mine. Haven't had them removed so far. But the passenger one is a little bit battered round the edges, following an escape attempt. Bit embarrassing as it exited just after an overtake, my resultant slowing down didn't impress the overtaken - understandably! They do help reduce the large gap between head and seat headrest. Now the edge is trapped under the seatbelt top mount on each seat to stop any further attempts for freedom.

It amuses me that the Aeromax and Plus 8 are, electromechanically, the same, yet the Max has an asking price of £100,000 more.

Peter J, yes that is true. But the Aeromax has a body that can't be compared and is an icon. BTW it's your call, but compared to the orange Plus 8 offered, I think your sale offer is too low, even if your Plus 8 has more miles on it. If we assume the best case scenario and experience new efuels, as Harry Metcalfe also suggests in one of his more recent videos, this would mean value stability for exotic cars like any ICE Morgan.

never forget the alu body of the Aeromax runs from the windscreen to the back of the car in one piece I had nightmares of scooters riding in to the back of the car meaning the car would be in Malvern for repairs knowing the people who made the body are probably not working there anymore... follow up of Morgan, aka the 'Herritage Department' is non-existing
be sure to feel comfortable driving it

Very good points for any prospective customer for the Max to bear in mind.

Hello to all of you,
some words to those two offered cars. The orange Plus 8 has been a former Geneva Demonstrator from MMC - as far as I know. The interior/dashboard and the Z8 steering wheel are specials from Morgan Park. As I heart the Plus 8 seems to be already sold. The Aeromax has the Morgan Park tubular exhaust manifold conversion with stainless steel catalysts. The Max offers some more BHP as normal. The interior is a Morgan Park Upgrade as well, made to customers wishes. Both cars come out of a collection...
Have a nice day Frank from Morgan Park Spectacular work Frank! Do you know if the Z8 wheel had an airbag? Will

I think another giggle is around "limited edition".
They made a nominal 100 AeroMax as a limited edition. They only sold about 30(?) Coupes but this does not gain the same cult status despite being less available.
(In truth I think the Max is more beautiful anyway)
So a limited edition does not mean it will be more exclusive.
(he said trying to raise the value of his Coupe....)
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.
