Philippo makes a good point which is compared to the Aeromax/SS models many of our Aero 8s regardless of series seem like a bargain in price. My personal view on the Aero series is I have this car for nice weather days, an occasional special journey and
the enjoyment of a traditional driving experience,IE manual transmission/top down/small car feel...
Sometimes companies trying to advance their product lose their core demographic and I fear Morgan could be headed in that direction when I see some of the new offerings. Philrs and Selcouth, both talk about the drive...and the drive is one of the main reasons the Aero still is in the garage instead of a Ford Gt or another Porsche model...
If paddle shifts, hard tops, softer suspension settings,more weight becomes the norm for Morgan, will the core customer +4/+8/
original Aero series stay loyal...I do recognize trad roasters still in production, but the original aero concept was to build a modern trad type car...
My Aero stays in the garage because of where Morgan has been, probably not where Morgan is going.Maintaining better than average value on this type of car at least for me is always of interest...You could argue Morgans upscale strategies might help value on many of our cars so another reason to keep the aero in tip top condition...You could also argue Morgans upscale strategies might also devalue earlier Aero's and while I watch with interest Morgan's corporate direction I enjoy the series 4 Aero view it as a keeper/collectible and kind of wish there had been a series 5/6 of a modern Morgan with traditional driving characteristics.
