[vpr]

Beautiful car and beautiful color. How many yellow Aero 8's could there be. Love to add that to my collection. Anyone know where to convert to LHD for a reasonable price and what is needed?

[Philippo]

To answer your question I believe there are three yellow S1 Aero 8s. This one, a French lhd Ferrari Fly yellow car and my own lhd car also in the same colour.

I believe one Aero 8, also an S1, was converted from RHD to LHD. Cost was over £10,000 and that was maybe 6-7 years ago.

Cheers

This one here is an early UK car, chassis 40 or there abouts. In TVR pearlescent yellow at huge expense when new

Thank you for the information. I have just bought and will figure out how to make LHD ho pefully for less. Have owned Morgans over the years, however in Canada Morgan stopped in the 90's due to our stringent rules and different from USA in that the manufacturer must comply and not conversion. Hopefully I can enjoy this summer and enter in the www.blacklistrally.com Black List Rally in July 2016. Did the first one in 2015 with my Gallardo.
Was interesting as I was the oldest, the first speeding ticket and the biggest, with wife beside. A real adventure and a Morgan in Yellow would give a little class to the Lambo's

Phillipo.

Does that mean there are two fly yellow ferrari and one other yellow being the only yellow in what may be a Lamborghini colour?

Thanks for your knowledge as I proceed to convert this car or live with the RHD. Guess I may have to leave my wife and live a country where RHD is normal. That could mean the Caribbean which could be a good thing given Canadian winters.

Thanks again

Which car have you bought?

[rtshapero]

The Yellow car pictured above with the registration Y11LLO. Also bought the registration as I am told. Will export to Canada and add to my collection. Can't find the actual paint colour code but think it is a pearl yellow. Someone said to me the only colour but you know of 3 but 2 seem ferrari paint fly yellow. I am hoping this is Lamborghini Yellow which may be nice. Understand TVR may have also used. May enter it into a Rally Cruise. Will it last for 5 days 1000 miles. Toronto, Niagara Falls, Chicago, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh then back to Toronto. Like to show that McLaren, Aston Martin and Jaguar are not the only British Marks. Will it keep up. Have until July to decide what car to use.

This was my car

the colour is TVR Halcyon Midas Gold and is the ONLY Aero painted this colour from factory. It cost the factory a fortune to paint it at the time.

[rtshapero]

Thank you. Then the story I was told was true. How nice a car is this, as I understand three owners. What was special factory equipment? How hard to install AC and a Nav unit. Where would Nav unit go and where to buy what model.
Looking forward to enjoying

[vpr]

I did respond to your email

It's had at least 4 owners, my Brother being the last as far as I know, me the second.

AC is standard.....It's fitted to your car

Get yourself over to talkmorgan forum

[rtshapero]

Thanks. Just now have to get NAV or is that with the car? LOL

[Philippo]

Enjoy the car. Before buying my Aero 8 I had a TVR Griffith 500 with the same paint and it was stunning.

I believe the reason the other LHD car in France is the same colour as mine, was due to the owner (future) seeing my car (though I didn't own it at the time) ready for delivery and liked it

Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions. I'd like to think that after 8 years ownership and doing my own maintenance and repairs, I've got to know the car quite well.

Cheers

Philip

Just a note of thanks to all for your information. The car with the other Morgan Aero 8 is now in the mid Atlantic coming to its new home. Hopefully, it will be entered in a Gentlemen's rally www.blacklistrally.com and enjoy the 2000 kilometer trip from Toronto to Niagara Falls to Pittsburg to Chicago and then Indianapolis before coming home. Again thanks to all.

One of it's ex owners now lives in CA
