After a bit of a wait I am eventually going to collect my new Series 4 4.8 Auto from the factory tomorrow.

I haven't physically seen the car as yet and wondered if anyone has any pointers as to anything that I should look out for on it?

Any advice much appreciated.

Regards,

Robert

Best advice I've been given is walk around any new car 3-times completely - this will allow you to pick up any cosmetic defects (if they exist and on Morgans are rare).

Chances are your car will be fine and if any fettling needs to be done, it will occur once you've driven it and can be dealt with at the 1,000 mile service.

Look forward to seeing some photos and congratulations - enjoy your collection!

Simon,

Thanks for the advice.

Had a superb experience collecting the Aero 8 from the factory on Saturday.

The Aero 8 is fantastic. Not a match dynamically for the Stradale but pretty good. The auto gearbox is superb and only lacks paddles in my view. Pedal arrangement much improved and good for left foot braking.

Biggest problem so far has been my three young daughters deciding who rides in the Aero 8.

Regards,


Robert
