It has nearly 500 bhp and certainly can’t
be described as "never raced or rallied."
The Morgan Aero 8 GTN Le Mans car which raced in the world’s greatest sports car
races in 2004 at Le Mans in France, Spa Francorchamps in Belgium and Sebring in
the US goes up for auction on ebaymotors.co.uk on November 15.
The Aero 8 is being sold by the legendary Morgan Motor Co. and although it uses
Morgan’s famed coach-built construction and an ash frame, this is a full-house
race machine powered by a BMW 4.4 litre race engine.
Previous drivers include former Grand Prix star Jacques Lafitte, Adam Sharpe,
Neil Cunningham, Keith Ahlers and Steve Hyde. The car is unique, ready to race
and comes complete with a host of spares.
As the car’s performance can only be described as mind-blowing, the Morgan team
is even offering a two day handover and familiarisation package to the
successful eBay Motors winner.
Claire Gilmartin, head of eBay Motors in the UK said: "Anyone who loves cars is
fascinated by the Morgan mystique, and we expect considerable international
interest in what could be one of the most valuable cars ever to be sold through
ebaymotors.co.uk."
To find the Morgan Aero 8 Le Mans car, simply go to www.ebaymotors.co.uk on 15th
November and put Morgan Le Mans into the search box.
Increasingly, rare and unique cars are being
auctioned at Ebay, including a Ferrari Enzo which sold for over
£500,000 (approx. $913,000) last weekend.
