being mine someday. Not to be morbid but presumably that will happen.

Morgan Aero 8. V8 under the hood. Think it's around a 2003 model. Low miles, and my stepdad baby's his four Morgans.

Complete with a bespoke aluminium chassis, all independent suspension and powered by a 4.4 litre BMW V8 engine (M62TUB44) producing 286 bhp (210 kW) at 5500 rpm and 322 lbf·ft (430 N·m) at 3750 rpm this was a radical departure from the traditionally built Morgans. Performance was 0 to 62 mph in 4.8 seconds with a top speed of 160 mph.
