Morgan put a prototype car on show to gauge market reaction. It was amazing.

Mr C Morgan then made an announcement at the Geneva Motor Show committing Morgan to a first order date. That date left Morgan insufficient time to finish the engineering and run a car hard for 6 months. With the benefit of hindsight Morgan should have delayed the launch, but having seen CM in action I doubt there was anyone at the factory able to do that.

Why am I looking at buying into the M3W world? When the M3W was first announced I wanted one. I still want one and thanks to Callum my manager, A.K.A Caroline is also now convinced.

Sadly the used M3W market is "soft". A number of dealers will not take used ones as part exchange unless they sold it and even then only if they have a customer lined up. One reputed dealer won't sell the car, they will only act as a broker. Why? Because the law requires dealers to offer a warranty and I suspect they can't get the M3Ws underwritten.

So by the end of the winter there will be disgruntled owners wanting out at any cost and I suspect cars will be offered at £20K or less. That is too good an opportunity to miss and I'm willing to to take that risk.

As to the chassis cracking, I'll only buy a repaired or replaced one. But they may still crack, who knows? But should the worst happen I have a cunning plan that involves mating a 4/4 front end to a M3W!
