gjohnmarmet ◊ 2014-06-19 01:46	Surely that is a Morgan Aero Coupe to the right of the Plus 8?

So probably 99my (which means this one also has the 97+ longer doors by 2 inches, but I can't really see the difference). Rear over-riders instead of bumper may mean 2003 Anniversary Edition for 35 years production, although probably more of a runout model before production stopped in 2004 - that's marketing spin in action.
