Perhaps Ale just needs to eat more fish and chips washed down with a pint or two of Guinness !
Seriously though a very sharp looking car👍

Good quality coil springs should not "settle" at all, at least not for many thousands of miles. I have now done nearly 50,000 km on the front Suplex suspension and it shows no sign of dropping at all. Leaf springs, and particularly those used by Morgan arounds 2012  , are much more prone to "settling".

Peter I think that is just the result of the demonstrators being on the market. None of the dealers will want to be carrying that debt beyond the end of any agreed period at a guess. I thought it was a little bit nuts flooding the market like that. There is a regular market for Aero cars at the different prices but it is low volume. Pricing control is vital to retain the values, I think this is a bit of an error that might just hurt the car values for a few years.
Yup. All but one looks like a dealer demonstrator or pre-order. You could look at the availability as... There's 18 approved dealers in the UK. Some of those dealers are advertising cars on the main web sales site. Some dealers are on their 2nd demonstrator. They sold the first one. S5 Aeros are still being built. It's not a huge surprise that new and low mileage cars are being advertised by dealers. And sometimes people buy a Morgan (all models) and find it's not for them. So really, nothing to see here. Everything's normal. 😀 Will

S5 Aeros are still being built. With which engine, now that the N62 is over?

There's no arguing with that Ale . Those centre caps are a bit special . FPWM. But it still looks to me like the rear body is high, rather than the wheel not centred. imagine the body pushed down 15mm or so at the rear. What does it look like with a bag of spuds in the boot?

They have a rack in the factory full of shrink wrapped BMW engines - we were wondering how much they cost each - I guessed £10k - asked the guide but he had no idea.
