A fabulous car so surely worth a proof read by whoever the boss might be as this says shoddy and scant attention to detail to me ! A beauty Get shot of the coffin, rear rack and Paddy sticker, align the right rear exhaust and it just might sell... Sitting in the driver's seat, the green leather compliments the walnut dash that has a glove box space, the dials look retro but modern, the air con works really well and the black leather Moto-lita steering wheel feels great in your hand. Because it’s a later Plus 8, power steering means this is a modern car in sleeps clothing. Underneath the aluminium panels is the space frame chassis, foreshadowing what would later become the CX line of Morgans. The BMW power plant also hints what is to come, the V8 with quad exhaust, lets you know when you put your foot to the floor however it’s not loud enough to upset the neighbours. Surely it's a monocoque is it not - happy to be corrected as always.. After Peter J's tale of woe with Williams with electronics on Tarka I wouldn't go near an Aero chassis at all as there is zero factory support and Scifab is no longer in the game. An aquaintance of mine has an Aero in with BB at present for Service and MOT so it will be interesting to see what attention is paid to detail on delivery of service as it is his first visit to them. He has had some abysmal service from Henry Williams on another Aero chassis even though the invoices have been monumental so I am hoping for the best outcome from the garage that is bereft of writing abilities !!

It's also displaying illegal black 'n silver number plates, not a good example from an MMC approved dealer
Many years ago the MSCC would not feature photos of Mogs with illegal 'plates in the Mag or Calendar

We can all make mistukes when touch typing to post …..but when you are selling something you double check ! Whoever let this go out wants their nuts chopped off ! Isn’t it also a bit pricey ?

I'm trying to think of words to describe that barnacle on the back of the car. My immediate thought was 'greenhouse' but missing the glass. To my eyes, it looks like the miniature greenhouses used for cuttings and small plants. However, saying that, at least it is being marketed... my car has been at a dealers, along with another owners, for over four weeks and yet neither Morgan is yet to even be listed on the dealers site.

The original owner had a two tone yellow and Blue Roadster 4 seater which my Dad bought after it had been pranged and repainted all blue, it was called Bumble, he then got Bumble II in the same spec, then the above +8 so quite a tame spec choice given his previous choices and I expect he needed the case if he was used to the luggage capacity of a 4 seater!
It wore the same reg so if you no a detailed reg check on the above it would likely bring up the 2009 CAT D write off

Highly likely as a Plus 8 (not a speedster) it left the factor with two airbags. These look to have been deleted.
