In a long chat I had with Mr. Williams about Morgan, Morgans, Lotus and Lotii, he mentioned the new markets (specifically China and the Phillipines) were demanding auto boxes with increasing pressure. He said they were a necessity for Morgan and that he was trying, so far unsuccessfully, to convince the factory of the NEED of automatic boxes for all cars (not the 3 wheeler though). I don't want and don't like auto boxes, but I won't be shocked if MMC makes them available. In fact, and hearing Mr. Williams, it seemed very reasonable that if Morgan wants to go to markets where automatic gears are overwhelmingly predominant, than it needs to have that option available.
Was a very interesting conversation overall, Mr. Williams was very kind to us while we were waiting for our M3W to be fixed and serviced.
