When a well-to-do Morgan enthusiast spoke to Charles Morgan for his wish to have a luxurious Gran Turismo with coupe roof, the son of founder Peter Morgan did not know where to start. Until he got a letter from a 21-year old student. And look at this: the Morgan Aeromax. Subscribe now to the RU-vid channel of Autovisie for more: bit.ly/AutoVisie
Morgan is an eccentric brand and not only because of its classic products or the traditional building methods with lots of manual labour, but also because of new creations and ways of thinking. One of the examples is the re-mergence of the ThreeWheeler which formed part of the basis of the sports car manufacturer. The fully open two seater with, as the name indicates, three wheels came beside the four wheel models, even if the car was taken out of production at the time because of the introduction of those four wheel models. The model has been taken out of production, but it might come back as a fully electric model. That is the intention.
That 3-Wheeler came after another eccentric model which is the Aeromax. In this episode we discuss the history of the eccentric coupe. We go back all the way to 2004, when the Aueromax was first discussed. Why did Morgan suddenly have to build a coupe? Why did it get this particular roofline? Who is responsible for this car? Why did the introduction of the Aeromax result in a new design direction for Morgan? These and more questions are answered in this 240th episode of Sjoerds' Weetjes, the exclusive video series by Autovisie.
In each episode; Sjoerd van Bilsen tells you more about a specific model or brand. Welcome to the RU-vid channel of Autovisie.
