Morgan Aero 8 S3 detail
Protection detail - Interior valet - Leather clean and protection - Soft top clean, re-colour and protect.
This one has been on the card's for sometime. I have been looking forward to working on this vehicle and on a couple of occasions, circumstances such as my van having gearbox issues, the weather in good old blighty and then the clients vehicle having to be taken to where it was born due to a running fault have lengthened the wait. Morgan have always been a quality British heritage with a difference. They hold there own with a classic yet iconic look and feel to all the vehicles they build, something that more manufacturers should aspire to. My client contacted me in January after a years search he had finally found a vehicle he was happy with which he was lucky as the search can be longer due to owners seldom rarely letting them go.

The Morgan aero 8 S3 is the third generation aero model and the first with the much awaited for BMW mini headlights which cured the cross eyed aesthetics of the front end. A trait which always was somewhat Marmite for the masses. Coupled with a change in wheel variant,exhausts etc. There is a few variants of the gangster look where by the tailgate is more streamlined and the soft top far shorter in height, appealing to some but not all.

Paint thickness check.
Doing the usual route of precautionary measures prior to undertaking any forms of machine polishing work on such a fragile hand built beauty.
|
Random scratch removal.
Using a lesser aggressive combination as to ensure no damage is inflicted yet still gaining great levels of defect removal in a safe manner.
|
Before any forms of machine polishing to remedy the defects.
Soft top prior to Renovo.
Soft top looked very tired prior to re-colouring stages which consisted of 2 colour coats and 2 coats of fabric proofer to seal the newly restored finish.
|
After using a simple pad & polish combination to remove defects.
Plenty of wear and tear due to weather and repeatedly dropping the roof down and folding back up resulting in white lines and friction patches to the canvas.
|
During Renovo process.
We ensure vehicle is fully polymasked prior to any colour process.
|
Soft top after complete 2 stage clean. 2 stage colouring process and 2 layers of fabric proofer to seal the newly restored roof.

Time for some gratuitous finale photos...
