Hello, I don’t know if anyone has looked closer at the Aeromax brochure (as it is presented on the web). (By the way, why a brochure when all were "sold" in 3-4 days?) Anyhow, I have not proofread, just glanced through the Aeromax brochure, and I saw several odd little things. But on page 10 I found an error, then one more, then several, then five (5) in one sentence and four in another, or perhaps even more. It does not look good at all. From page 10, (page 7 in the PDF file): Technology is embedded in every aspect of teh (sic) Aeromax. The Morgan Motor Company’s independence allows it to use some of the best in the world. The Bmw (sic) v8 engine, the ZF manuale (sic) and automatic gearbox, the Bosch electonic (sic) ABS bracking (sic) systems and the super plastically formed aluminium panels are all regarded as leading modern technology.
Over the last 30 years the experience of homologating a car to world-class standards has led Morgan to some innovatiev (sic!) solutions, for example he (sic!) company has learnt that the combernation (sic!) of ash hardwood and aluminuim (sic!) provides a light, durable and secuer (sic!) structure. That many errors in ONE page in their brochure for their high end product do not look good. The Classic Range, Roadster etc. brochures have a much better quality, and you can zoom in on the text without it getting blurry etc. Obviously, the Aeromax brochure isn’t a “print copy”. I am aware that the vast majority of the Aeromax owners did not give the brochure any thoughts. It is for us non-Aeromax owners to look at. But still... Aero 'something' seems to be all the rage nowadays, not much talk about the classic range, even long before the SuperSports. However, I like the design and photos in the brochures, and as I said, Classic; Sport and Roadster all looks OK.

The to be owners recieved a brochure in December 2007, right before Christmas.
The brochure, as is on the web, was enclosed in a black leather book, embroded with Aeromax and the chassis number/100
The book was hold together by two pieces of dark wood as used on the dashboard
It contained the specification forms.
I will check if the typos you noticed are on the real document
T be honest, I didn t bother to check spelling when I got the document, first because I was in awe and second, because my English is a disaster!

Morgan aren't the only company to suffer with the changing attitude to schooling (in particular English Language) that occurred quite a while ago in this country.
My English teacher was a stickler for spelling / punctuation / grammar (early to mid 1970s). Two to three years later, when my parents queried my Sister's English teacher about her spelling etc. the answer was "Oh, we don't worry about that too much. We like to encourage children to be creative."

There must have been some pixels missing on Osprey's screen That is just what I thought at first, since it was so way off that I couldn't believe my eyes.  If anyone else is interested in checking their monitor for missing pixels or perhaps do a dyslexia test, you know where the brochure is; http://www.morgan-motor.co.uk/sales/aeromax.html  Ah well, the PDF seems to be created in April 2008; perhaps someone at that point added a little creative writing just to bridge the gap between the Aeromax owners  and the rest of the Morganeers?
