We then tried to put them in touch with the right person. Unfortunately the then responsible people at Guzzi were too short sighted to realise the potential of the Morgan three wheeler and offered a price that was virtually the dealer price for entire bikes. That is one of the main reasons that the Morgan/Triking project died. (The other was Tony Divey's failing health.)

If Moto Guzzi executives had been more flexible and had offered a reasonable price history may have been different.
