Morgan and Bentley debuts at Motorclassica
Legendary British car manufacturers Morgan
and Bentley will present major new model
debuts at Motorclassica, the Australian
International Concours d’Elegance and
Classic Motor Show in Melbourne next week.
Bentley Motors will stage the Victorian show
debut of its new Mulsanne and Morgan will
give the Aero SuperSports its first Australian
showing at the Royal Exhibition Building
from 22 to 24 October.
Both cars made international debuts at similar
concours d’elegance events in Europe and the
USA, and they will present their cars to the
public at Motorclassica’s Supercar Central.
Motorclassica event director Paul Mathers
said the elegance, beauty and performance represented by Motorclassica made the perfect
setting for the two iconic British brands to show their latest offerings.
“Bentley Motors launched the Mulsanne last year at Pebble Beach, so it’s fitting that its first
public showing in Victoria should be at the nearest thing Australia has ever had to that
wonderful event,” he said.

“Bentley Motors will be showing two cars which effectively ‘bookend’ its range – its biggest
and most luxurious car in the Mulsanne and the hardest, fastest and most extreme car it has
ever built in the form of the Continental Supersports.
“For those who love their Bentleys, we will have almost an embarrassment of riches, with
several ‘WO’ Bentleys plus beautiful classics from both Derby and Crewe.”
Morgan will have just the one car at Motorclassica – but what a car! This is the very first
Aero SuperSports in Australia and the first time it has ever been seen in this country
Mr Mathers said the arrival of the new Morgan was an unexpected bonus for Motorclassica.
“With less than two weeks to go, the car has now arrived and cleared Customs, and we are
delighted to have it as part of Supercar Central at Motorclassica,” he said.
“Underneath the sensational styling of the SuperSports lurks a serious and sophisticated race
tested all-aluminium chassis and a high performance V8-engined sports car from the 101-
year-old Morgan Motor Company.
“The Aero SuperSports is the final evolution of the successful Aero range, and is a Limited
Edition model with just 175 to be built.
“Its extraordinary combination of tradition and technology makes it the perfect complement
for our other supercars, including such legendary cars as the McLaren F1 and Jaguar XJ220.
“These cars remind us that a car need not be old to be a classic – the Morgan and Bentley are
brand new models, and yet they are true modern classics from the very beginning, embodying
all the character that has made them two of the world’s most admired marques.”
