"I take it you mean the car is having a new chassis fitted (or modifying the original) even though the old one isn't cracked ?
Is that instigated by the dealer or the factory ?"
That is exactly what I was wondering. It would be interesting to know who is paying, given that it is now accepted that the chassis are susceptable to cracking, so why should an owner wait until it happens?
Peters 'First drive comments' are interesting, as much for what he feels needs doing as what owners actually find once they have some experience with the car. For example, he states that the steering lock is bad, whereas, in practice, it doesn't have much affect on everyday driving, the same with fit and finish, in practice those little bits pale into insignifcance compared with the bigger problems of the early cars. However, he is right, that Morgan really need to look at the small details, which I think they are doing, now the bigger stuff is sorted. That is always the problem with bringing a product to market before it is really ready.
In fact, I suspect that the way the company put the car into the market initially and the firefighting now involved handling and dealing with the problems associated with putting an underdeveloped car into the market and the costs involved, could be a good example, which could be used in business school, for the wrong way of doing things.
Hindsight, of course, is a real luxury on-one in business has.
