First off, hello from Washington DC--this is my first post to the forum!

I've wanted a Morgan Aero8 for years, and now have the opportunity to purchase.

I've never driven an Aero8, to drive the car in question I will need to take a flight across the US. I have an E90 M3 saloon as a daily drive, so I think I know what I am getting with a BMW engine hooked into a light car; I anticipate a fun ride.

I'd already have made the purchase but...the color. The exterior is a Rolls Royce Blue Ice Pearl, and the interior is Yarwood silver gray leather with blue carpeting. It's a bit flashy for my tastes, but the selection of Aero8s in the US is so limited you kind have to take what you can get.

Is this as unusual a color combination as it seems?
Anyone seen this color in person?
Any other little problems with a low-milage series II car I should know about?

Finally, here in the US I could get a new SuperSports but it is about $100,000 more than the series II. Is the SuperSports really _that_ much better a car?

Thanks for any and all advice. Happy to talk about the price via PMs.
