This Could Be Your Early 'Aughts Morgan Aero 8 But You Playing
This Could Be Your Early 'Aughts Morgan Aero 8 But You Playing-November 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:46

There are only a few hours left to place your bid for one of the weirdest designs every to come out of the faux-classics car builder Morgan. We’re talking about a 2005 Morgan Aero 8 for sale on .

Remember eBay? It was the place to shop back when this Morgan was brand new. It was a time for trying things differently, and the 8 was Morgan’s attempt at something new. It was the first new design from Morgan since the +4+ in 1964. The Aero 8 was different from anything they had ever done. Instead of a aluminum skinned wooden body tub on a steel chassis the 8 has both an aluminum chassis and frame. Under the hood the Aero 8 was sold with a BMW-supplied 4.4L V8 pumping out a stout 325 HP, especially considering the car weighs in at only 2,500 lbs. Somehow its previous owner kept that beast locked away. This 8 only has 8,800 miles on it.

Morgan isn’t the old stodgy brand it once was. Now it’s known as the quirky and quick automaker that still values the old ways of bolting and soldering everything by hand. And while the crosseyed look certainly isn’t for everyone (in fact, Morgan redesigned the fascia in 2008) we can all admit that it exerts a certain gravitas. At least from the back. As of this writing the auction currently sits at $65,100 with the reserve still not being met and only 17 hours to go.

At $3,000, Could This 2002 Toyota Solara Convertible Put You Over The Moon?
We just passed the Winter Solstice which of course means it’s time to start thinking about top-down summer driving in cars like today’s Solara. Let’s see if this forgotten Toyota is priced to make those future memories. Hotrodding has long involved the cramming of big mills into little cars,...

My love for the reached new heights when I laid eyes on this perfect, manual, red-on-red 1986 model for sale on Facebook Marketplace for only $3,500. Just look at this sliding-door-having 1980s human-hauler, and you’ll agree that this may have been the deal of the century. Daniel O’Donnell, owner...

‘The World’s Most Extraordinary Car Keys’ Versus My Car Keys: An In-Depth Comparison
While I often try to forget its existence, I was again reminded this week about the concept of ultra-luxury, bejeweled car keys—you know, the kinds of keys for people whose on the front of one of their four dozen supercars just isn’t enough. It was at that point I...

Here's A List Of Cars You Could Buy Instead Of This Ugly Jacket
This past Sunday, with no one to see and nowhere to be, I decided to head to the Upper East Side in Manhattan to check out Barneys New York’s going-out-of-business sale. I’d never been to this department store before—it was far too expensive to be interesting—but now that it’s...

At $2,999, Would This 1965 Ford Thunderbird Be A Classical Gas?
Today’s T-bird boasts cool sequential turn signals that would be later shared with the Shelby GT350. Let’s see if that alone is worth turning out its asking price. There aren’t that many Toyota models that are rightfully considered to be collectible, and I’m not sure the we looked at...

This Hilarious Customized Nissan Versa Has A Ridiculous Mod I've Never Seen Before
The Nissan Versa, despite its very reasonable pricing and possession of four wheels and an engine, has never really been a popular choice for modders, perhaps because it’s a pretty soulless transportation appliance. That didn’t stop one Craigslist seller from , in a way that includes a bizarre and...
