I'm hoping he returns to an active role. I've met him a few times, only at car related things....He doesn't know me from Adam. He once said at a gathering that he loved the support of owners but to really support the company we should buy new, not used, cars from them. He said it in such a way that it did influence me and I placed another order quite soon after that.
I did feel very sorry for him once. My wife and I were at the Malvern spring show and Morgan had a stand there. My wife had broken her ankle and so I was wheeling her round in a wheelchair.
Charles came towards us at one point ( not near the Morgan stand) and my wife looked up at him as he passed and said a cheery "Hello Charles". We passed on and I looked behind to see him standing still looking mightily embarrassed that he hadn't recognised someone who obviously knew him and was in a wheelchair for goodness sake.........
We've been to lots of things where Morgan have had a stand and visited factory events quite often. At all these has been the lovely Jayne who must be the most undermentioned charming Morgan representative ever. She always has time for a chat, remembers things long term and actually emailed me pictures of one of my cars being built when I couldn't get up there. She's a treasure, I hope they pay her well.
