I am imagining the brain storming session at MMC…how the hell can we justify loading an extra 100k on to these models…limited addition, yeah…and why not paint the exhaust pipes white…no one else does that…great, think we’ve clinched it!😬

The Aero chassis were part of the Administrator's auction, so Bristol must've paid for & owned them.

& yes, you'd think not many people other than Morgan would be interested in them, so the price should have been very soft.

Wonder if they are registered as 2022 cars or as per the original chassis date?

I recall Bristol wanted £250k for there car on this chassis.

For me the GTR is a major case of miss alignment of Purpose and product. I have mixed feelings on it’s long term brand impact and owner prospects.

If you want something that is very close to what was actually competed (or has strong alignment to purpose) - no need to look further than S1, S2 and GTN’s.

I’ve excluded the later Coup’s as the racers were in reality completely re-engineered cars and even the silhouette is different.

They were not part of the auction - tried to buy one and they got pulled out the auction as not being available. Not sure if it was IP or physical property issue
