Never scared of being controversial, Morgan certainly caused a stir when they launched the cross-eyed Aero 8 in 2001 - their first new model since 1948. Some loved the looks and some didn't, but what was beyond debate was that the car bristled with technology and performance to a level few could have expected from a small volume manufacturer best known for designs whose roots lay in the 1930s. Gone was the traditional Morgan steel chassis topped by an alloy-skinned wooden body tub. Instead, the car boasted an ultra-modern alloy chassis, while power came courtesy of a thumping BMW V8 - initially of 4.4-litres and now of 4.8-litres.

This Morgan Aero 8 Series 3 was first registered on December 12, 2007, and was issued the registration number ‘CN57 DXX’. Under the bonnet, you'll find a robust 4.4-litre V8 engine mated to a manual gearbox. This distinctive automobile has covered a total of 46,000 miles on the road, although it's important to note that the odometer currently displays 4,694 miles. The service history, however, substantiates a previous mileage of 42,000 miles before an odometer reset. This Aero 8 has been lovingly maintained and received an extensive service from Allon White just last year. During the previous winter, the vehicle underwent some cosmetic refinements to address minor dings and paint imperfections. A collection of photographs taken before this work provides visual proof that these modifications were intended to enhance the car's appearance, rather than addressing major repairs. Remaining in a largely stock condition, this Morgan Aero 8 comes with an additional set of wheels that are in unmarked condition. All of its essential systems, including the air conditioning, are in good working order. The only exception is the tire pressure monitoring system, which is currently non-operational. However, since the spare set of wheels is of higher quality than the ones currently installed, this offers an opportune time to replace the sensor batteries during a wheel swap. Above all, this Morgan Aero 8 delivers an exceptional driving experience, boasting flawless performance with no known faults.
