....The secret is to always have more demand than you can supply rather than the other way round. Morgan aren't going to make 100 Eva's that sit in a fenced parking lot unsold. Yes, there is a considerable amount of R&D expense but I would expect that they would budget for that.
I believe it was Peter Morgan who quoted Henry Ford. When asked a salesman to produce more cars, Henry Ford said he was happy to have demand greater than supply, and he would sack salesmen when supply was greater than demand. oddly I have just tried to Google this quote and the first hit I found was on a previous TalkMorgan thread...posted by me

I truly had to let it sink in, I expected something different and can't imagine me driving this car sad but true, my enthousiasme went away seeing the second teaser and when I saw the real pictures; I felt dissapointed what I do like/see is some details that could be fine on a remake of the Trads (when ever legislation obliges MMC to do so) I whiched it was more like the lifecar/SLR and less baroque I like this one for exemple: http://www.evo.co.uk/images/front_picture_library_UK/dir_777/car_photo_388882_25.jpgbut the real model has a more bulged motor-hood and wheel-arches anyway, YES, I see things I like, but the overall design doesn't make me want one though I confident M.H. will design some more nice cars and one of them will suite my needs

I think the Eva is an impressive design. My only gripe would be the recessed grille. Change it to an Aero grille and it would be great.
Still wouldn't change my Aero for one though !!! I need to feel the sunshine.

funny how you seem to have a very selective reading as I specifically wrote and I quote it here "...not meaning that those who will buy the eva are not (morgan enthusiasts) but the proportion will be much lower"
as for expanding client base, I am not making it up, it has been said by Morgan itself if I am correct. I don't doubt that there will be an expanding client base, now who's being selective? Just as the Aero models increased the mix and age of the Morgan park. I just don't agree with the supposition that, and I quote verbatim, it will necessarily "reach the car ark of football pitches, the garages of rich russian and other people wanted to be notice". For example, on the PH thread there are quite a few petrolheads, including 'Jonny TVR', that have said they will or have ordered an EvaGT. P.S. ... and now other TVR owners are placing deposits. It seems that Cerbera owners like it too! DJC here, ex TVR owner (x2), I believe I may have put my hand up in the thread aswell about doing something emotional...
