To have 2 cars crashed in one weekend is terrible. I'm sure in view of these crashes Morgan dealers will be rethinking their test drive policies and insurance excesses.

I wonder if the drivers involved in the crashes were existing Morgan owners or used to not having traction control etc, or whether the Covid related unaccompanied test drives is bringing out the worst in people?

Yes it was the manual new Plus Four that was pranged badly, apparently by a random customer who was swept up in the MMC publicity for a test drive weekend! As you say I wonder if this is really the best way to gather new potential customers. Apparently Dan hopes this one might be repairable, but what view will the insurance company take?

The other prang was a Roadster, and that is feared to be a total write-off. However the driver decided to buy a Roadster from KH, and will tasing delivery of it shortly , so the experience has not put them off.
