Maybe someone will bite, but with new cars still to be sold, it's rather different to the Aeromax situation (and the financial landscape is rather different)..

Shame really - these cars should be bought to be driven - not flipped for a profit.

Hoping, but it depends on other circumstances, that the factory may allow a Max and an SS to attend Prescott this weekend...

There is always someone who NEEDS it now and does not have the patience to wait, this will be the buyer at the end of the day.

Should we be naughty and refer to this syndrome as Nouveau Morgan rather like the Nouveau Rich ?

What am I saying I am just jealous. If I had the money to burn it would be in my drive now.


Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

You can also tell it isn't Morgan SS-000 from the side profile - the targa roof is raised and therefore the rear has been slightly amended to accommodate the increase in headroom.

As has been said, it is harder to make a profit on a car when the production run isn't sold out. With the Aeromax, the production run was sold and the company had an extended waiting list (by accounts up to 100 people at one point).

Interestingly, the last Aeromax that sold on the secondary market sold for more than the asking price of the SS at Lovett's.
