Blake, it sure has been interesting watching this thread unfold.
I had a similar experience with my new 4/4 and to be honest I think you have got off lightly given what has happened with Morgans down here.

You have every right to be angry and disappointed. You have identified the issues and made your feelings known. Having been through this exercise may I suggest the following:-

1) Most dealers have pride in their product and want a satisfied customer so try and engage your dealer (and if possible the actual mechanic) in a way that they can see this is possible.
2) Clearly detail every issue and your expectation for resolution in writing.
3) Ask specific questions if you are not sure what has or is to be done.
4) If you get offhand, evasive or dismissive answers don’t let it pass.
5) If you can’t get a response that makes sense get professional advice and/or an inspection. There are plenty of automotive engineers who know what is expected and the law. This proved invaluable in my case.
6) Finally, and perhaps this should come first – join or contact your nearest Morgan Car club. Ideally this should be done BEFORE you buy if you have little or no knowledge of the marque.

So you have identified the problem, now for the fix!

I suggest Morgan may need to consider that a new client can become their best customer (and advertisement) OR their worst nightmare and it doesn’t take much to push it either way.

I for one will be watching (as will the global TM audience) to see which way they take you.

Keep the posts coming and keep smiling – they really are great little cars when you eventually sort them out.


Ps my bet is this will be sorted very quickly. Heaven knows how many sales have been lost just on this experience alone and you will hear the collective slamming of potential new owner cheque books if it’s not.
