Chassis no. SA9FASSA4BE004100. Yarwood Siren Blue over Roman Red and blue leather. 4.8/362hp BMW V-8, automatic, chrome wheels, side exhaust.

Evaluation: Located in Texas. Showing just 865 miles and essentially like new.

Bottom Line: Wearing a curious blend of classic Morgan traits (sweeping fenders and horseshoe grille) with flashier features (chrome wheels and extravagant boattail) the Morgan AeroMax coupe was the first Morgan to cost six figures (in GBP). An aluminum chassis and body keep the weight to barely 2500 pounds and a BMW V-8 gives it enough thrust to back up its good (or at least eye-catching) looks. Introduced in 2009 ahead of Morgan’s 100th birthday, the Aero SuperSports is the targa-roofed version, and only around 200 were built. No more than a handful made it to the States, carrying a base price of around $185,000. It has clearly appreciated a lot in the last decade, then, but there’s not telling when the next one of these eccentric English rolling sculptures will come to market and someone jumped at this rare opportunity.
