Here is a picture of my GTN which has the black wheels.
When my new Aero arrives I will be re-fitting the hard top on this one.

hi Nick

and a belated but big welcome to TM.

congrats on your S1.

Am sure you will love it!

you asked about wrapping - I had my Roadster Wings and other bits wrapped with 3M ventureshield.

Its brilliant! And as well as looking so good ( not you can "see" it) - its very reassuring to have it fitted.

A specialist in Bham fitted mine - PM me if you would like details.

cheers

Neil

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone, shooter your GTN is stunning, I have to admit I am most likely going to have mine painted in the GTN colours, it just looks so right. One day I really hope to own a GTN, not sure what value is on them atm tho.

Going to get expensive as I want the interior redoing too, it's a shame I missed out on the GTN coloured one at Allen White, I prefer cars with original colours so I hope what I do isn't considered blasphemy!

Tempted to have side exits fitted as well..

Regards,
Nick

Well there is only one for sale at the moment and it appears grossly overpriced. My guess is the significant other of this owner has told them to sell it and by listing it at this price not much is happening :-)

http://www.autoscout24.com/offers/morgan-aero-8-gasoline-blue-277358186

The realistic price has been creeping up in recent years, about 4 years ago they could be had for £40k + then they went to around £60k when I last looked at the idea of getting one. I haven't seen any others for sale since I bought mine last September when the price had got to £75k.

So, I would expect all things being equal, over the next year or so we might see £80 to £85k (Would be nice for those of us with them)

Crikey, I think perhaps painting mine in the GTN colours would be a bit more economical! Looks like the GTN will be relegated to my dreams.

Is there a list of differences between normal Aeros and the GTN?

I read the standard Aero is around 1200kg, but the GTN is 1000kg, so I presume some rather radical changes?

I've tried google but these cars are so rare..very little info seems to be out there.

Regards,
Nick

Nick, I guess I should make some enquiries and find out exactly what the differences are!

The facts I know at the moment are:

Alpina 4.6 engine
Much bigger brakes with ram air vents in front bumper for cooling
Carbon fibre hardtop
Colour scheme. Mauritius Blue Pearl/Titan Silver

Things I've heard but not confirmed:

The cars were not built going through Morgan's normal production line but separately by a small team

3 of the 11 (that I know of) also have a soft top. Unlike the S2/S4 cars, the soft top is not installed under the hardtop but instead of.

1 of the 11 has a slightly wider body. I haven't measured it to give exact size difference but I have seen it and would appear to be perhaps 1 or 2 inches wider.

The ones with black wheels are faster!!! :-)

Thanks Shooter, at least the changes are built on top of the Aero base as such, nice to know it shares some Dna!

Did they ever make/fit any hard tops to non GTN Aeros? I must admit for a long journey one would be brilliant.

The main thing I'd love to do my Aero is fit side exits, let's hope that's not to involved a job that requires new panels or something!

Regards,
Nick
