Tomorrow evening 6PM UK time.
Chassis 43, LHD, 2.700km... no reserve.
Est. 100.000/150.000 GBP including bid rights (not sure if it's the right wording)

http://www.rmsothebys.com/lf17/london/lots/2011-morgan-aeromax/1704079

I think I have seen this car on sale on autoscout24.ch some months ago.

Questions:
What does it mean: "the running boards were inscribed with the script 'Defendall"
In the picture of the passenger door (interior) what is that piece of black plastic popping up - right end of the pic?

IIRC,at the time of the Aeromax production Russell Paterson's team were highly skilled in applying Defendall paint protection and were asked to go to the factory to apply it to the Aeromaxes.

how can I say this to my wife. "Sorry I can't do what you want me to, I'm just off to buy a car"

Just go, buy, come back and tell her: "Sweetheart, really... Did I completely misunderstood what you wanted me to do?!?!? Was not something related to red leather?"

Q2 - at the front of the door card (just behind the circular door release catch) is the electric window switch. At the rear end of the upper door card protruding from the wood trim you can just make out a small metal barrel which is the manual door lock/unlock (really only for emergency use - it's fiddly to use)

Ah-ah! Understood (and I succeeded to upload the pic).
I am 99.9% sure that this has been removed in the AeroSS. Weird.
