i would assume he would of signed an order Document, therfore it would have to be debated who made the error Firstly, before rejection or liability was established.
Why do I get the distinct feeling people are out for blood against the factory, see my first thread, the Customer will of surely sat down and went through an order form that will have small print attached, he will/ should check and double check the order before signing, if he has signed and ticket Manual by mistake there's no good bantering on about trying seek to grab money out of Morgan, I think it's time we added up how many great and accurate orders come out of Morgan Factory
I have to say that I agree with Dean. René ordered the car with the dealer, the dealer put the order in for fulfilment. If the dealer put the order into the factory incorrectly, there is zero blame on the part of MMC. Furthermore, if the dealer confirmed an incorrect build request from MMC, again, the dealer is at fault. The only way MMC would be at fault would be had they confirmed they were building an auto but actually built a manual. As anyone who has gone to the factory will attest, each car carries a build book with it from start to finish and this record is checked at each station; therefore, the chances of this happening are very unlikely.
René's contract is with the dealer and the dealer makes their margin for handling both the purchase and in cases where post delivery does not go as it should do.
René, the car is beautiful and I wish you many happy miles behind the wheel of this Plus 8, or one that is as per your original specification placed with the dealer.
As for your question about auto vs manual. I owned an S3 manual Aero 8, I own an auto Aeromax and have driven a manual new Plus 8. Personally, I think the ZF auto is a brilliant gearbox; however, and it is personal preference, I thought the manual was almost ideal for the Plus 8 and certainly the route I would take if I ordered one. That said, you should be happy with your purchase and if you intend to commute in the car, be stuck in stationary traffic and want ease of use, the auto box may be the ideal solution because the manual sport mode is very good.
