2002 Morgan Aero 8 Series One in incredible as new condition For Sale

Trinity Car Solutions are privileged to have the opportunity to offer for sale an incredible car, this Morgan Aero 8 Series One in what can only be described as in "as new" condition. A car for the serious collector without doubt, if you want one of these incredible cars, then seriously look no further, this example is as good as you will ever find..... guaranteed!

This is in our opinion the holy grail of Aero 8's, rare to the market and in this exacting condition, a once in a lifetime opportunity to own something with the provenance this car has.

If you like your sports cars to have a traditional look and feel but using up to date technology, then Morgan’s Aero 8 should be right at the top of your shopping list.

There’s something about a Morgan, something very British. Let’s not forget that the firm is the longest standing British car manufacturer, over a 100 years of manufacturing, and is also the oldest privately owned company in the UK. Remarkably, it has been building its first four wheeled model, the fabled 4/ 4, for over 75 years, but The car we are offering for sale here, though, is a very different animal.

One of the most innovative models in Morgan’s history, the Aero 8 made its debut at the Geneva motor show in 2000. It was something of an odd beast, combining styling from a bygone era with a thoroughly up to date engine, transmission and chassis package.

Underneath the Aero’s World War Two period swooping wings and running boards is an aluminium chassis, a radical departure for a company famous for its wooden chassis frames. But it is the engine that marked the biggest step forward, as for decades, Morgans used the 3. 5 litre Rover V8.

The Series 1 Aero 8 was derived from Morgan’s Le Mans race car of the era. The engine is the pre vanos BMW 4. 4V8 mated to a BMW E39 M5 6 speed gearbox and a BTR limited slip differential, producing 286bhp, which is the same engine that powered numerous big BMW saloons and 4x4s. Hooked up to the robust six speed Getrag gearbox, it is enough to propel the 1145kg Morgan to face bending speeds, hitting 60mph from rest in under five seconds.

The Aero 8 is a thoroughly modern take on a classic theme. The aluminium chassis is incredibly stiff and this helps to provide excellent handling and roadholding through the all independent suspension. The front end is well planted and predictable, though the lively rear, inevitably, requires a degree of readiness from the driver.

Performance is nothing short of staggering. While the numbers tell one story, what they don’t reveal is how the Aero 8 affects the senses. The howl of that V8 BMW motor gets better and better as the revs rise, and, combined with the added sensations you get from driving without a roof, it provides a superb soundtrack to a truly unique motoring experience.

Our amazing example was originally supplied to Libramotive, London in October of 2001, and registered on the 3rd of January 2002. This car is chassis number 46, and as such is one of the early cars with the lowline hood and the centre lock Magnesium wheels. These wheels have the modified lock set as supplied by Morgan. It was supplied with air conditioning, and the original Blaupunkt San Francisco CD 70 remote controlled radio/ cd player.

The car is virtually as new in all respects, having covered a mere 6200 miles, yes that's right 6200 miles from new; never seeing the rain and always garaged, and the paintwork quality reflects this. The leather interior is in as new condition and it even comes complete with the original Mulberry glove box leather bag and green baize cover. All original handbooks are present as well as further factory instruction sheets concerning the operation of the later Morgan upgraded items.

This car suffered from the common power steering failure of the early cars, early in its life, and was fitted with the retro fit Morgan Factory electric power steering conversion. The original instructions provided by the factory with this conversion are present. The original heated side windows are intact and working as are the original tyre pressure monitoring system and centre console screen.

The car has never been driven in the rain by his current owner in the last 15 years and there is none of the common paint bubbling, with the paintwork in amazing condition having been professionally corrected, detailed and ceramic coated.

In its enthusiast owners hands the car has been serviced fully every year irrespective of mileage and this has included a full brake strip down as well as Mobil One oil and air filters each year. This is a truly pampered car and has been meticulously cared for, everything just as it should be. New tyres have just been fitted, and the car will come with a full 12 months MOT at the point of sale, to confirm its mechanical excellence.

This car has to be seen in the metal to fully appreciate the true quality of such an exacting example. Serious enquires only by appointment please, as this car is atmospherically stored in secured premises, and is not available for general inquisitive call ins at our showroom.

Any inspection welcome as this car has undergone a complete inspection schedule by the team at Trinity Car Solutions for your peace of mind.

Please don't hesitate to contact us should you have any further questions or to arrange a viewing. Here at Trinity our mission is to supply top quality specialist marques to our valued customers.

Reluctantly for sale is this lovely 1952 Morgan Plus4, finished in green with black leather.
