Yes I can see why the three wheeler is aimed at a little younger demographic to expand the companies reach into the market to those with less grey hair ..... (me included in that) I have twice been called an old guy in a Morgan lately and not happy about it -but not about to do a Ronald Reagan

...those with less grey hair ..... (me included in that) I have twice been called an old guy in a Morgan lately and not happy about it You think you have problems?! I started going grey at secondary school and I was halfway there by the end of my teenage years, having kids of my own completed the process. On multiple occasions in my forties, I was mistaken for my own children's grandfather. On the plus side, I have had many more years of concessionary discounts than I was entitled to!

Ian, there's a saying up here "grey hair is better than nae hair " I started losing mine in my early twenties!

Ha Ha - Not sure what Graham L (the chap on the left) would think of that title. We all had a very enjoyable tour yesterday, suitably orchestrated by Graham (G4FUJ) and his dry wit. Everyone I spoke to afterwards were intrigued by the way a Morgan’s car production has been changed following the introduction of the CX chassis. Graham, am I right in thinking that the production time in the factory (in man hours) is now less than previously with the ladder chassis? The chap seated on the left must be the carer

Hi Steve, I'd have to go back though my notes for the trad cars to see if I have a note of total man hours expended. Certainly the chassis build was a lot quicker, around 10 hours, but then things like wiring was done in the assembly shop where bodies were fitted, before going to paint, so swings and roundabouts. Glad they enjoyed the tour
