2007 Morgan Aero 8 (series 3).
Handmade in Malvern, England.
2000 Aeros were made between 2000 and 2018, only 200 of this series were made.
5 Aeros in total were sold in Australia, they sold for $349,000 and resell at a similar price.
This car has a naturally aspirated 4.4 litre BMW V8 (N62B44) which produces around 286bhp (although some claim 333bhp) and sends it to the rear wheels via a Getrag six-speed manual transmission.
Sides pipes, which sound bloody amazing, with a DIVA inlet manifold (the world's first continuously variable length inlet manifold).
Top speed of 160mph/258kmh and 0-60mph/97kmh in 4.5 seconds.

I imported this car from England in 2024 and am in love with it, I do not wish to sell it, however my wife says it has to go.

A few more details;
This Aero 8 is finished in Jaguar Gunmetal Grey
Burgundy leather-trimmed interior, accented by engine turned aluminium inlays, and a Raven Ash upper dashboard and door card inserts.
It rides on a set of 18-inch five-spoke forged alloy wheels with body-coloured spokes and polished rims, housing black AP Racing brake callipers (6 pot on front) with contrasting yellow text and fitted with Avon ZZ5 tyres.
Features include cruise control, electric windows, a start/stop button, a side-exit sports exhaust system, tyre pressure monitoring (fickle), and an aero sump rub plate kit.
A Kenwood radio head unit with Bluetooth, USB, and auxiliary connectivity has been fitted in the cabin, and paint protection film has been applied to the car’s front end, running boards, and the fronts of the rear wheel arches and around the door handles.
Airbags
The car will be accompanied by the original owner’s handbooks, the stamped service history booklet, two sets of keys with fobs, a third key without a fob, the tool kit, the warning triangle, and a selection of maintenance invoices and UK MOT certificates.
There is a small amount of paint bubbling on the trailing edge of the rear wheel arches and the leading edge of the front wheel arches on both sides, as well as the bottom edge of the offside running board this is typical of all Morgans as a steel rod in folded within the aluminium seam. I’ve shown photos of the worst two areas.
The roof doesn’t fit well around the windows. I have been in contact with four other Aero owners. None of their roofs fit well, including one who has had a new roof made from scratch. There are two small patches of wear on each side in the areas that the roof folds, photo also attached.

The work comprised of an engine oil and filter change, along with a clean and check of the brakes, a tighten of the rear subframe mounts, a reset of the parking brake, and a lubrication of the suspension and steering ball joints and the locks and hinges.
Prior to this, the car was serviced in August 2021 at 21,431 miles by Brands Hatch Morgan which was a standard service including an engine oil and filter change, and replacement of the coolant, brake fluid, and the battery, and in March 2018 at 19,138 miles by Brands Hatch Morgan, which was a standard service including an engine oil and filter change as well as a clean and inspection of the brakes, a lubrication of all of the relevant serviceable parts, and a tighten of the rear sub frame mounting points.
An Aero sump rub-plate was fitted to protect the sump from damage in March 2018, and the windscreen washer piping and jets were upgraded to a newer revised type during ownership.
