About the Morgan AeroMax
The AeroMax began as a bespoke commission for Prince Eric Sturdza before public demand led to a strictly limited run of 100 units to celebrate Morgan's centenary. Designed by a 21-year-old Matthew Humphries, it features a dramatic split-window fastback rear and side-exit exhausts, marking a peak in Morgan's 'Aero' era. Beneath the hand-beaten aluminium skin lies a bonded aluminium chassis and a BMW-sourced 4.8-litre V8, providing a raw, analogue driving experience. Its combination of futuristic engineering and pre-war aesthetics makes it one of the most collectable British cars of the 21st century.
