All prices plus vat of course.
My options must be well over £20K - and could easily top £30K (including vat). Have to say there is a little cynicism in things like having to pay over a grand for half decent carpets.
While the options lists for Bentleys etc. are long and costly I do thing we're being asked to pay for things that really should be on the base car. I fear that my interest in replacing my old S3 with a new one is waning a little (although the carpets on that are shocking quality too (but there's less of it on show).
But, hey, might change my mind when I see one or wait for the 'options are free' deal...???

My Aero in 2009 was about £50 under £80,000 (I have the hard top which was a £3k option) so £105k in what will be 7 years later once delivered isn't too big a jump.
What was the base plus 4 price during08/09 compared to now?

Options pricing is very ambitious and bordering on extortionate ..
but they have to somehow recoup margin lost from lowering base price susbtantially
A base car is the best deal. My total options price is about £6k.

If it wasn't for the near impossibility of owning a big V8 in Italy I would order the base version and have Borghi option it up. It couldn't cost more than what Morgan will charge.

My options list works out at £20k + VAT. So guessing my car to be around £104k.
BUT...when I consider the other cars I looked at (Porsche 911 Targa 4S, BMW i8, F-Type R and Mercedes AMG GT) at similar money, whilst I know they will potentially suffer fewer glitches....They will not turn heads like a Morgan does.
A Morgan has a certain panache that none of those other cars come close to IMHO. There is the safe option, then there's an Aero 8 and whilst those other cars are extremely nice cars, for their buck they do not bring that something that a Morgan does.....and that's priceless. Again, IMHO.

Good things come to those who wait but they've usually been left by those who got there first!

Well said Rob, and not surprised you've got to £20K plus vat. I do like the sound of the hard-top but will it fit any better than previous hard tops??

More importantly will the soft top be watertight or is that a "wish too far" for a Morgan, even if it costs the best part of £100k. I'd want the Aero 8 for top down long distance touring but it's inevitable rain will be encountered at some point and I'd prefer it to stay on the outside of the car , not on my knee , elbow etc etc

ROFLMAO - even after a Swiss refit of the windscreen mine still bubbles - and will happily drip through the rear of the roof panels. You don't get that sought of engineering with a Porsche!!
