2005 Morgan Aero 8 Roadster

Taken at the Glendale Gathering Car Show held annually in the Glendale Suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio.

 

Powered by a 4.4 liter BMW V8 DOHC 32 valve engine capable of generating 325 bhp, the hand crafted aluminum body and chassis on a ash frame is listed as able to attain speeds of 170 mph which is a far cry from the Morgans I knew of. This car is one of only 60 imported. Historically, because of their ash frames, Morgans did not pass American safety standards and so were not imported in large numbers.

 

I was lucky to get this shot as when I arrived the hood was up and the car was surrounded by a big crowd. Fortunately, I stuck around long enough to get this cleaner shot with the hood down.

 

WOW!
