Hi two tribes, my 1st car was orange so it is a distinct possibility, although an electric blue does appeal, as does the stock Morgan red.
Hi Matty, at the moment they are not being sold as such. Morgan has opened the book to reserve order slots due to popular demand. The price is not yet fixed but is quoted as being close to the price of a stock 3 Wheeler. Production start is also not fixed other than being 2017. To reserve a slot in the queue you need to make a £1000 deposit, which is refundable if you don't like it following a test drive. To be honest it is a bit of a gamble but the money would be doing sweet FA in a savings account at the moment so I am not losing out on much.
I got my reservation number this morning. I won't reveal it as I am not sure Morgan would want that sort of information public, but between the 1st time I contacted Richard Thorne last month and making my order, the queue has become 50 places longer, so there does seem to be a fair bit of interest.
So the next step will be either a factory visit when a demo is available, or a visit to Richard Thorne's if there is a demo tour.
I would prefer to visit the factory and chat to the engineers involved as I do have some interest in electric car design. In fact a few years ago I was the second choice for being the program manager to look after the DTI electric car research funding program,but I lost out to someone from the automotive business. I think I got as far as I did because I had done a paper design for an EV conversion of a Lotus Elise (because I am a bit of a geek) and as such had a lot of technical information at my finger tips following the research I had done as part of that design. Once upon a time I was an electronic engineer, but succumbed to the dark side of project management in the late 90's but still like to tinker.
