The pricing of their demo fleet cars are very keen and they mean business alright, good luck to them they have invested heavily in this area.

It's been coming for quite a few years now when the dealers were told to keep crazy levels of new cars in stock, and over the last five years or so we are just left with the big players in terms of dealerships. This was probably inevitable with the entry level costs spiraling significantly which became necessary to produce a "compliant" car for the new breed of customer.

We bought our Morgan direct from the factory. Order placed in late 2011 for delivery at the factory March 20 2012.
It was an interesting experience innocent

We asked about the Milan dealer and we're told that he would be "looked after". I think he must have received some commission and payment for the first service (which was without charge to us). He actually fitted a couple of things that he called the "Italy Pack".
