That's pretty poor really, isn't it? It makes you wonder what else hasn't been done properly. It certainly seems that MMC is not recognising that as its product and target buyer moves up market, so will their need to focus on quality.
The 'traditional' Morgan owner (the 'flat cappers' as CM calls them) bought Morgans because they were cheap sports cars. They tended to do a lot of work themselves, and would fix stuff themselves as they found to - the monthly spanner check and lubrication ritual was second nature to them. There was no way I could have afforded a new Mog when I bought mine - the only option was to buy an old one and do it up.
By contrast, I get the impression that most modern Morgan buyers don't tend to work on their cars themselves, maybe - with the result that MMC and their agents have to do far more desnagging than they ever used to?
It seems a shame that they still don't seem to have embraced Kaizen principles, more than half a century after the rest of the world realised that it's always quicker and cheaper to do things right first time rather than doing them twice.
