It is indeed an Aeromax, the outer body panels for which were made at the firm I work for, and delivered to the Morgan works by.....me.  |

I grew up in Malvern, and the aged parents still live there. One day I'll finally pull my finger out and do the factory tour...  Factoid: the rear lights on the Aeromax are from the Lancia Thesis.  |

I don't care if it's crosseyed, It's British, and it's fast, and the insides are made of trees and cows. It's all win.

About 25 years ago a very good friend of mine that did hill climbing in his morgan decided that he wanted to use it on the road instead,Only problem the chassis was shot to pieces,So he ordered a new one from morgan and had to go to malvern to collect it,I was asked if i would like to come along for the ride,When we got there we were asked if we would like to be shown around the factory while the chassis was being put on a pallet and loaded onto the the flat bed tranny,Well the part that stuck in my mind was the body shop where they were using body solder on the wings,just a truly amazing sight.

Chassis are bought-in now, many's the time I've been sat waiting to get unloaded there and helped them carry a bare chassis in from the stores....nice to help one on its way at the start of its journey! Wings are now (since early 1997) thermoformed (more info: www.superform-aluminium.com/ ), which gave me a giggle one afternoon when a factory tour went by as we were unloading front wings from the back of my van. A rather haughty-looking woman strode up to me, jabbing her expensively manicured finger in my chest and proclaiming that "IT'S ALL A SWIZZ! I THOUGHT THESE CARS WERE TOTALLY HAND-MADE". Nice bunch of people, Morgan. Something I'll probably never own, but would love to. |
