Brian M's New Wheels
I said I'd post these for Brian. Some of you may have seen this car before.

As you have no doubt seen elsewhere on the site Brian, Boshers Series II gave 364 bhp (from memory) and mine gave 345 bhp, both stock, at the dyno shoot-out that we had some time ago.  Most others were more in line with the claimed 325 bhp though. If you want new gearknobs, etc, have you spoken to Steve Simmonds who can do pretty much what you like with your car. He's not cheap, but his work is of the first-order. I have no connection with him, other than as a previously satisfied customer.

A striking example of the Aero 8.
Good choice

Nice to see another Aero with the hard top. From the front it looks so different with it on. Mine is now in storage until probably November. I even managed to succesfully install and remove it on my own (bit hair raising though, worrying about dropping it!)

Lovely S2 and I'd agree, the hardtop does really set it off. I'd concur with Aeroman's comments re Simmonds but an easy fix for the gear knob is also this option .

Brian, I don't know how to put this delicately, but the fact of the matter is, with that beautiful car "if they can't take a joke" as far as the exhaust note is concerned then screw 'em! LOL Jack

over here that's, good morning sir, noisy exhaust 3 points $ 185- illegal exhaust exits 3 points each side,total 6 points $250 each. disturbing the peace on a Sunday morning 6 points $ 100- total 15 points $785 automatic disqualification 3 years great car 2 years hard labour nice leather 6 months  over here when the police catch the boy racers with totally illegal conversions etc they confiscate the car and crush it regardless of how "nice " it is. I wonder if that would happen to a "loud " Morgan
