I also heard that there had been a large number of sales in the US and China, this was good news for Morgan but when it came to finalizing the orders they were canceled as there was no auto box available. I hear this is about to be fixed with a new auto to be coming in the next few months.
Good to hear that you are still in the loop Neil, the MGB LE50 does look very nice but a pity they don 't fit a V8!
My AeroMax AR08 MMC under its original registration, subsequently owned by mr_tony, was used to develop the settings for the ZF box fitted to the Maxes and the other Aero's. The trick ZF box was removed when I bought it and it was replaced by the productionised version.
The point I'm making is that MMC have been fitting automatics to Aero chassis' for quite some years and continue to fit the same basic box to current cars, although they can now fit them with paddles. Thus the auto box predates Morgan's entry into China, go figure as our transatlantic friends say!
