I've spoken with MMC and currently it is a feasibility study, in other words, they are considering options.
Whatever happens, it will not be Morgan Motor Company selling or distributing the so-called Malvern Roadster in North America.
In typical internet fashion, there is a whisker of truth in the story that has grown in the telling.
Not just a whisker of truth, more like a full beard!! :-)
One US dealer is already advertising the "Malvern Roadster". His state would allow a kit car approach. The established dealers in NY and California would be closed out of this approach due to the laws in their states..
This is more than feasibility, time lines are being set for delivery of initial cars and engines.
A new network of "kit car" manufacturers will be set up to sell "malvern roadsters"
The long established dealers will be cut out either intentionally or through the laws in their states.
Technically I suppose the Morgan Motor company is not selling or distributing the Malvern roadster in the US". In fact by using the proposed name "Malvern Roadster, they appear to be attempting to distance themselves from this car.
Once these get onto the market, Morgan owners will get to answer the following question about our Morgans "is that one of those Malvern kit cars"?
Peter Morgan must be rolling in his grave
