Interesting - the FAQs on MMC web site don't (or didn't) reflect that bit about the changes:
"14. Did you implement Sir John Harvey Jones recommendations following his first visit?
We listened very carefully to what Sir John had to say; but we felt that Morgan is a unique situation and that our loyal customers wanted the car to remain a hand-built product. In the period since his visit we have introduced many improvements to the build process but we have stuck firmly to the principle of craftsman build quality. Where modern technology can improve the finished car without compromising this uniqueness we have made such introductions. Sir John re-visited the factory recently and he seemed very impressed with how we had advanced, without relinquishing our hand-built, quality approach to car design and build. He rode in the Aero 8 and announced himself very impressed."
Cheers,
