Not saying that they asked for one to be noisy, but I am sure it did come down to money and pushing something out the door. All companies play that game, hence the whole recall process of major manufacturers. What is shocking is that no one has been able to rectify the issue through either Morgan or outsourced manufacturing. Seems most problems like suspension, exhaust, etc. are being addressed by the consumer themselves going to aftermarket.

I understand the 2014 mods doesnt involve an upgraded BB, just a rubber mounting to seperate the noisey gears from the chassis. The part number for a 2014 vs a 2012 BB is the same i understand, my only hope is that improvemnts have been made without much fanfare, needs to be on something costing over £30k.


I doubt it's down to the cost. No one would ask for a noisy bevel box that deteriorates and eventually has to be renewed. Not even Morgan.

Given that some boxes perform much better than others there's obviously a quality issue somewhere in the bevel box manufacturing process.

The sad thing is that Morgan don't seem to care whether it's fixed or not.
