Must be the only manufacturer putting up prices let alone not absorbing the VAT increase. spend

Will you be seeing the SS before the spring?

Stand correct just discovered the GM have increased prices by 5% but are now offering up to 11% discount and opposed to the 6% prior to the price increase

Visited Allon White and later the Morgan factory. The short answer is no, I didn't fit in to either a 2 or 4-seater - at least not in the standard car.

Leg room is tight in both but the position in the 4-seater Morgan test car was worse as it appears the seats sit on higher runners and my left knee was tight against the underside of the dashboard and the indicator stalk to the extent I could barely move it.

The good news is John at Allon White put me in touch with a chap in Leicester whose 4-seater they modified and who was kind enough to let me sit in it and also answered many a question. The modification seems relatively simple; removing the leaf spring coverings to allow the seat to be lowered and travel all the way back up to the rear seats = loads of room!

Charles Morgan is not exactly a shortie himself, can not see him building cars he cannot fit into

Without getting personal it is heavily dependent on leg in seam length and leg vs torso ratio. If you have long legs you may struggle to get comfortable in some of the trads unless you modify the seat runners. I know I did.
