It takes seven weeks to build a SuperSport starting with the aluminium (clipped British pronunciation) frame.
The 4.8 litre / 293 CUI BMW V8 can be specified with either automatic or six speed manual gearbox. At each stage of assembly only one person is responsible for and works on each vehicle, ensuring job satisfaction for the employee and 'perfection' for the customer.
Notice in the assembly process of the Aero SuperSport how the BMW cam cover will magically disappear.
The body panels are super formed and then finished by hand.
The aluminium body panels are bonded around an ash frame, this type of construction is both extremely light and also meets all the global crash standards required of a 21st century vehicle.
Morgan offer customers a choice of 40,000 colours for their hand painted vehicles, if they don't already have the colour you want they will make it.
The eight vehicles seen here in the Aero SuperSports assembly area will represent an income of over £800,000 pounds / US$ 1.28 million. Seventy percent of Morgans are exported.
As if by magic the BMW cam cover disappears !
Close to complete every detail is double checked to perfection in the Aero SuperSports finishing area.
The next stop for this Aero SuperSports will be either the customer hand over area in the factory or to a dealer.
Chairman Charles Morgan says of this particular model of perfection “ The Morgan Aero SuperSports is a luxurious flamboyant sports car which also remains true to Morgan’s philosophy of lightweight minimalist simplicity. It is a celebration of our love of cars and the romance of travel and is a fitting model to announce during Morgan’s Centenary year.”
