This is a very special car, for the individualist. It features the modernized construction and styling of the Aero with unique targa roof construction, ‘boat-tail’ rear styling and a higher than previous level of cabin luxury. Here was a weather-proof, lockable Morgan, with a boot, and all the accoutrements of luxuriousness – combined with impressive supercar performance.
The modified 270kW 4.8-litre BMW V8 engine gives the SuperSports exhilarating performance. 0-100km/h is achieved in just 4.2 seconds – along with an awesome soundtrack. The car is fitted with a 6-speed manual gearbox, also BMW sourced.
Tremendous handling is a highlight of this Morgan, with its bonded aluminium structure and Superformed aluminium panels keeping it light weight yet strong.
The interior features hand-finished polished woodwork surrounding the dashtop, door panels and rear area, with beautiful handcrafted leather elsewhere making the cockpit a very cossetting environment.
In this car’s history file are letters from the Australian importer and Morgan in the UK, with details of the options and order specifications. Morgan provided a beautiful boxed, leatherbound album showing the build of the car through many stages to completion.
With options, the car cost the buyer considerably in excess of $400,000 and the importer covered $13,426 of options over and above this amount. While he’d ordered the car from Perth, he had the car delivered to Tasmania where it was used for a period before shipping to Perth, where it’s been ever since.
Ultimately Morgan built 132 examples of the Aero SuperSports, and just two came to Australia. Today, the car has covered just over 15,000km.
If sold to a Western Australian buyer, the number plates MOG AERO go with it.
The condition of the car can fairly be described as pristine throughout. It is a blast to drive when demanded with huge performance, yet easy to cruise around in.
This is a very rare opportunity to buy an incredibly rare model from one of the greatest sports car makers of all time.
