Morgan AeroMax – AR08 MMC (2008)

It seems it is the season to lose good friends, as my AeroMax is coming up for sale too.

Although it is not a rare Series II, it is in fact the only remaining AeroMax prototype/show car, the other 4.4L one having been written off last year (so this is the only one left in captivity!) and it was built to be exhibited at Villa d’Este in 2008 with the LifeCar. After this start in life it was re-registered with the famous and valuable - AR08 MMC - registration number and was driven by many motoring ‘rotters’ with probably the most famous test of an AeroMax being done by the late lamented “Drivers Republic’, see the video HERE:

And for our Continental friends an AUTOWEEK test with English sub-titles

This car was used by MMC, with a programmable development ZF-gearbox, to develop the road-going automatic gearbox for the AeroMax and other Aero’s. Before being sold by MMC the development gearbox was replaced with a brand new automatic gearbox.

This ‘Max is really a one-off and has been much loved by its present owner, so it must go to a good home.

Sad to see this going, such a beautiful car. Hope it finds someone who will cherish it.

A beautiful concourse car that anyone would be privileged to own.

It's no secret that Brian has a Super Sport and that I will join him as an owner very soon however, were it not for the lack of open roof I would certainly have bought Brians car (though I know he too likes roof off motoring and as such it wouldn't be for sale )

Good luck with the sale B, whoever the lucky buyer is will be a very happy man/woman.

ain't that price too low?

Yes, and I believe he is making a massive mistake selling this stunning Aeromax; which I have of course voiced to him.

I hope it goes to a good home as it was a drive in this very car, with Chris Harris, that convinced me of just how special the Aeromax is.

Brian's example is a cherished one. When you consider the price against the Hammond car, I truly believe that someone will purchase not only a beautiful example but also a piece of MMC history at a price that is lower than it should be.

Hehe, I wish I could afford changing cars as often as you guys. I'd love to own that Aeromax. I like it better in the looks-department than the Super Sport.

It's a beautiful, beautiful car.

Nooooooooo!

Brian, as others have said are you sure??

Couple of years too early for me Im afraid, but one day I will own one, stunning!

Good luck with the sale

I agree! Its a better investment also IMHO but I would hate to buy a car as an investment as I would I'm sure somehiow resent driving it.

As I said before, if it werent for the fact that I love convertibles.....
