Went to see this car earlier. S1 on ebayI have pictures of the damaged parts if anyone is interested in buying it. I’m not going to post them here out of respect to the owner, but it you think you might be interested, drop me a PM with an email address and I’ll share them with you Simon

Yet again far to highly priced to repair economically.

I remember years ago, when we pranged sports bikes that had expensive fairings that we couldn't afford to replace, we went for the 'Streetfighter' look and just binned the plastic and rode them with all the stuff like headlights held on with brackets and such.
I wonder if it would be feasible to do something similar with an Aero? I reckon they'd look wicked with a minimum of bodywork. Trouble is, the cars are a bit too pricey to dick about with.

The current owner has several brand new front and rear wings in storage. He also has boot pressings and a bunch of other s/h Aero spares.
A pair of new front wings, a new cowl and new front splitter come with the car along with replacement upper front rocker arm and lower wishbones. I think he has at least one front upright, he may have two. There are anyway an extra pair of front uprights sitting is the spares hoard.

I would be interested in his reply when you asked him why he hadn't rebuilt it himself as he seems to have all the parts ?

The chap sells damaged morgans, that’s his business.
He knows his onions but I don’t think he’s in the habit of doing them up himself.
