The deal is done...  "George" will be arriving in about 3 weeks, after some attention from the factory. A 2014 Aero Plus 8 Automatic, with flappy paddles no less. It has been the factory demonstrator and was also the prototype for the flappy paddle fit. Built at the end of 2013 and registered in March this year it has 15,000 miles on the clock, many of the "development miles". VIN Number ends in 4124... Aldermog has to go: great fun and will be fondly remembered for bringing us into the Morgan world. But George better meets our needs. So, no more king pin greasing, no more wire wheel cleaning, it is going to feel strange. Peter

Geroge is as much hers as mine....
She didn't drive Aldermog much.
I'm going to have to fight to get my share of wheel time!!

Well done Peter! What are you going to do with yourself with no wire wheels to clean & greasing?!  More time to start taking it apart instead....

I didn't see that one coming.  You do realise you'll be blackballed now for the MSCC committee  Enjoy and I'm sure you're going to have a long 3 week wait. Out of interest what's happening with the wheels?

Very good Peter! George? Not Aldermog II, or Aldermog V8??  Look forward to seeing the car soon...

Out of interest what's happening with the wheels? Surely MSCC has got over the "Aero Shock", it is 10 or more years....! Yes, it will be a long 3 weeks...

Congratulations to you and Caroline. I think you have chosen a stunning car.
Black speedster alloys?
