However, the comments here should concern MMC if they really do value customer relations. Perhaps someone from MMC could explain their policy.
You are jesting aren't you?
If MMC, or any other company in whatever industry, 'explains their policy' in writing they will err on the 'safe' side and of course be forced to issue a 'risk assesment report immediately' (you know what I mean). If you go down this path you pander to the Nanny State.
This would spell, to me of course, the end of a great deal of what a Morgan, and the Morgan experience is about. Suffice to say I have been around the Rolls Royce, Ferrari and Bugatti factory's as well as of course the Morgan factory. The tangible, characterful, 'living' experience of the MMC far outweighs all the advances, technically and marketing wise, that the clinical anodine atmosphere the others have.
Sometimes you can get a bit of personal variation, sometimes you cant. If you start asking the factory for an 'official response' you begin the slippery slope. The answer will be a big fat NO for everybody, and you know why.
Please lets enjoy the car, the factory, the history and the people around it for what it is, and what it is not. It has many many more positives than negatives.
Sorry for the rant, I am not sure how clear and erudite my outpourings are but I am so sensitive that we do not lose any more 'reality' to the sanitised, cling-film wrapped version of life that now surrounds us.

PS I have no problem with change, improvements, advanced technology and of course real Health and Safety. However, insisting that someone provides a roofless car at a discount and demanding their 'stance' on this is not any of the above IMHO.
PPS try asking Ferrari for a 430 Spider without a roof, never mind a discount.
PPPS I have had nothing but great personal service from the factory personnell, though I acknowledge it cant always be like this for everyone all of the time.
