I cant quite believe that i have literally fallen in love with a Morgan!!! when i was younger before the AeroMax was introduced, i thought Morgan's were horrible but when i first saw an AeroMax my opinion changed completely, this has to be the most stunning car at the moment.

I'm a lifelong Morgan fan, but never really warmed to the Aero (like it, but don't love it). The AeroMax, however, is absolutely spectacular (and I prefer it, by a large margin, to the newest SS).

just showed mine to my dad,
got since august, but wasn't sure how he would cope
with another car in my garage: he also fell in love immediatly

same with most of the women angel
went to a future supersports-owner: he asked me so his wife could have
an idea what it would look like: she went mayhem, positively...

asbo:
yes, manual and 18" (but with sport-exhaust/seats)
will be boring but efficient/quality-feel
glad we did not do PDK, tried it on M3 and it felt no-go for my dad,
would take it on a Turbo though

Aeroman: I can see your point, when I'll ever order a P, it'll have the PDK,
but it would not suit my dad

also because of the Morgans, I need a car with lots of feel,
so probably my "ultimate"daily would be a GT3pdk
with a roofrack to carry my mountainbike smile

I guess we've gone off topic a bit, but... 1) why would you prefer PDK for a Turbo, but not for a Carrera, and 2) why would you prefer PDK at all? I most certainly prefer a REAL manual 'box.

as a daily I want "auto-modus" available
with a turbo, I would track it "smart" (=clean lines) and not "bully" so a PDKbox would suit that driving-style,
also, mine would be LOUD, so I would hear at what RPM the engine is

my dad ordered pretty basic,
and he hates auto-boxes,
therefor PDK would be expesive compared to the rest of the car,
if he ordered fully loaded C4s then a PDKbox would be neccesary for re-sale

Fantastic cars - something to properly aspire to smile

Never seen ones in any other colour than silver though so thanks for those pictures.

1560,

Thanks for the reply. Personally, I've never minded using a manual 'box in traffic (it gives you something to do smile). I do understand the appeal of paddles on a track, but why would track use with a manual be "brutal"?

I've had 911s for 15 years and, IMO, it would be very sad if we've gotten (or if we get) to the point that a manual gearbox in a 911 is detrimental to resale value. To me, it's a crying shame that the 458 (and the new McLaren) won't be available with three pedals and a gear lever. I acknowledge how effective a good paddle box is, but to me, for a road car, a true manual is much more satisfying and involving to use than any paddle shift system. It's a shame that the choice seems to be going away.

The orange one (flat Porsche RS style orange) was for sale for some time during last year. It sold (presumably to Europe). As far as I know there aren't any other orange ones (though there is a lamborghini lime green one out there recently sold by SGT in Taplow).

I ahve a vested interest in Orange - though as I said before Orange with a black interior and black wheels would be better on the Max - the brown interior really didn't do it for me when I say it up close at Cheltenham (Morgan Centenary) last year.

Thanks guys.

Anyone know how many right-hook Aeromax's were made?

Any up for sale at the minute? I see there was a damaged one for sale in the classifieds recently but it seems to have disappeared?

101 made in total, 11 have gone to the US and probably at least 50% of the remainder went to Europe, so you're probably looking at a total pool of 40 or so cars.

I remember reading that less than 20 were RHD.
